Taiwan 2021 Earth Day Exhibit

Join us at the Grand Opening of the Taiwan Earth Day Exhibit, courtesy of Taiwan Photowalkers!

Our exhibition is virtual and highlights the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. We aim to show what we can do to reduce our impact on our fragile planet to ultimately heal Mother Earth. This is our first step. What’s yours?

Many thanks to organisers Kenneth Dickson, Alicia Haddad, Patrice Delmotte, Amaris Woo, Tobie Openshaw, Susan Babcock.

'Taiwan Photowalk' in Post-Production

Final editing is in progress for Taiwan Photowalk, the film and video version of my photo series that accompanies performances of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.  The series explores cultural translation of images by Viktor Hartmann and Modest Mussorgsky through images of modern Taiwan. The release will feature pianist Shao-Hsun Chang and model Mandy Weng in a production by A T Beaune. Stay tuned.
