One of my most admired ancient Chinese philosophers, the founder of philosophical Taoism - Laozi, said it well - " A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."
So I would like to borrow a quote from one of the greatest photographers in our time, and a dear friend of mine, Steve Mccurry: "My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport."
This image blog, "Taiwan Impressions", is a collection of random images I took in Taiwan, where I was born and raised.
A young lady in Ximending, Taipei, dressed in an elaborate Halloween costume resembling a tattered wedding dress. The dramatic makeup and accessories highlight the festive spirit of the approaching Halloween. It's a playful contrast that, despite the effort put into her disguise, she still enjoys a refreshing iced bubble tea - an essential treat in Taiwanese culture. Ximending, known for its vibrant atmosphere and youth culture, provides an ideal backdrop for such creative expressions during the Halloween season.
