Following yesterday’s post, here’s a formal introduction to the resident cat at Collection For Friends, Money. He’s about the fattest, calmest kitty I’ve ever met, which is a ...
Collection For Friends is a little cafe hidden in the alleys of Zhonghe, Taipei and a treasure trove of zakka knick-knacks, vintage cameras and handmade goodness. It was an impromptu visit (back in F...
Tadpole Point is a quaint, vintage-style cafe located in Treasure Hill, an old community restored as an artist village in 2010. More pictures of Treasure Hill will follow soon but I’m really ex...
I’ve had a roll of film in my Konica C35MF for months but gray winter days kept the camera on my shelves. When I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago, the battery was waning and turned two ...
I keep changing my mind about my favorite kind of film: in the beginning I was really into the pastel hues of ISO100 film but then I realized I use my cameras indoors so much that I had to start usin...
Kodak UltraMax 400, Canon FTb We are expecting another night of full house in Parachute Hostel today so it’s probably going to be a little noisy but definitely fun. Also planning to head over t...
One of the really fun things we did as prep for the opening of my friends’ cafe was to visit Yingge, the pottery town just outside Taipei for cups and mugs and plates. We even caught a pottery ...
A few more pictures from my parents’ dating years; I really love the one above of them and my aunt and uncle – they look like they came out of old Taiwanese romance films (see: Chiung Yao...
I love how little sprouts of leaves and flowers still grow on and around what’s left of the trees but really, what happens to trees after they’ve been chopped? Agfa Vista Plus 200, Canon ...
These are long overdue pictures from when Paper Plane Café just opened early April. I do have lots of new ones to share, I now have such a huge backlog of photographs that I could easily blog everyda...
I don’t have many pictures to share from the first time I went to the FuHe Bridge flea market. It was rainy, the crowd was sparse and people weren’t too camera-friendly – I kept my ...
Kodak Gold 100, Canon FTb I have an hour before a barbecue dinner at midnight to celebrate a birthday and the one-month mark of my friends’ new business so I thought I’d put a post togeth...
Here are some snaps of my friend Becky’s room while she was testing recipes in the kitchen back in March. She keeps a very girlish room – girlish by my standards – and it makes for ...
A while before we moved, the computer shop in the building opposite ours adopted a new cat into their kitty family of two, making it three beautiful cats for me to photograph. The first day I met the...
I must admit that ever since my friends’ cafe opened for business, I find it hard to want to patronize other establishments for coffee. I love spending time with my girlfriends at a nice little...
Doesn’t the package above just promises awesomeness? It took me a lot of patience to take the time for a picture before I ripped it open (I had to wait for the rain to stop!). I won the Zenit T...
I was so excited to see how my test roll on the Zenit TTL would turn out and I must say I’m really looking forward to using it a whole lot more. I’m on my third roll as we speak and there...
Good food is one of my personal indulges – I can never make myself buy expensive clothes or shoes or makeup but food, I can make a lot of exceptions with my spending when it comes to food. This...
And we’re on to the 1980s. My parents dated for about 3 or 4 years before they got married so these are from the early 80s. What’s funny to me is that my parents haven’t really chan...
Lomography CN 800, Canon FTb
We visited Taichung over the long weekend back in February and my friends decided to make the trip to a private plot of cherry trees that was kindly made public by the owner for the first time this y...
Ferrania Solaris 100, Canon FTb These are long overdue pictures from Chinese New Year – a huge holiday over here but definitely not my favorite. I’m not a fan of the noise and crowd that ...
Still missing the Tunisian and Norwegian breakfast the three of us shared over hot chocolate at Wild Honey in Singapore. Hearty food and hearty laughter are the best things in the world. Lomography C...
I hope you’ll forgive me for doing a little plugging for our new business on the blog today. Parachute Hostel is now officially five days old and we’ve welcomed travelers for all six of t...
We’ve made our way to the local IKEA over and over again in the past month to source for, decide on and, finally, purchase appropriate furniture for my friends’ cafe + travel hostel. I...
In the last post I mentioned that we’d be moving on to color pictures taken in the 1970s (save for the last two professional portraits)- these are some adorable ones I found of my mother and he...
Agfa Vista Plus 200, Canon FTb Just five more days before my friends’ cafe + travel hostel open for business, we’re running high on craziness around here. I was doing quite well on my 201...
I just spent my first work day at my new home; my office space is about four times bigger than the old one, with ample natural light. It’s beautiful around here but I do miss my old place. It w...
These pictures were taken last December, when I visited Singapore for a dear friend’s wedding. Little India is definitely one of my favorite places ever, bursting with colors, ethnic fragrances...
