The National Intercollegiate Athletics Games (NIAG) are Taiwan’s university games. Beginning on May 9th and running until the 13th, over 12 000 athletes representing 169 universities and colleges in Taiwan will be competing. As the biggest sporting event in Taiwan prior to the Beijing Olympics, these games will feature members of the Chinese Taipei Olympic team. Here’s a few images shot yesterday at the swimming. I’ll have more throughout the week from other sports.

Craig Ferguson Images | Cultural Photography. One of the key aspects of life that we humans identify with is culture. We label people, places and events according to our ideas of what they are, ranging from the broader scale defined by tradition and place down to the small scale subcultures and tribes. Craig Ferguson Images is consistantly creating new visions in the field of cultural photography. From traditional festives and customs to modern, urban subcultures, Craig Ferguson Images is in touch with the changing world. From our base in Taipei, Taiwan we are perfectly positioned at the crossroads of the ancient and the modern.

Hi Craig,
Terrific post. I especially like #’s 5, 6 and 9. Plus, the new site looks great. If anything positive has come out of your ordeal, it has to be a fantastic new look for your amazing photography! I’m really sorry to hear it happened though.
That’s beautiful. Wish I had the time to go check it out.
Thanks Carrie and Fili.
Hi Craig,
G’Day from Canberra. I am originally from Taiwan. Migrated to Australia to get my sports photography business happening.
It’s interesting that whilst you are taking action photos for the Taiwanese Olympians, I have been taking the Aussie Olympics team whenever they are in action in Canberra. Libby Trickett, Grant Hackett, Eamon Sullivan, and the women basketball team (the Opals) and others.
Love your photos.
Cheers,
Eric
Eric,
Thanks for stopping by. It is interesting that we seem to have done a “country swap”. The guys you’ve been shooting probably have a better chance of getting medals that the ones I’ve been shooting.
