B&W Photo Challenge

My colleague Yü Lee, acclaimed Taiwanese mezzo-soprano and versatile performing artist, has nominated me to share one black-and-white image a day for five days. I can hardly resist an invitation like that, so I will be sharing five selected images through the American Thanksgiving weekend. Stay tuned.

For now, a shout-out to my brother. Happy Birthday!

A two-story tall commemorative lantern anticipates the 2009 World Games in Taiwan's southern port city Kaohsiung. The figure wears the traditional clothing of Taiwan's native Austronesian islanders. The posture echoes that of the Goddess of Democracy erected by Chinese students in Beijing during the 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy rallies.
