So here we are. Christmas Day 2009 and the last edition of 5. Trying to choose five favorite photographs to display on this post has been a difficult task. I almost wish the category was ten for Friday.

2010 will feature a 365 project of sorts but one offering a daily phototip. Stay tuned for it.
There’s no real reason why I’ve chosen these five images. I could just as easily have chosen a different five and probably would have if I did it at a different time.
As I write this post it’s Christmas Eve and Taipei is cold but sunny. I’m about to head out for a rescheduled portrait session and then it’s time to take it easy for a few days. Blogging will continue however, with a guide to fireworks photography coming next week as well as the first desktop calendar download for 2010. Happy holidays everyone.

Taiwanese opera performer from the Xin Ing Feng Opera Group. Originating in eastern Taiwan in the late 19th century, Taiwanese folk opera is part of the southern variations of Chinese opera. As the only form of Han traditional drama to have come from Taiwan, it was started by immigrants from Fujian, China and told folk stories of the region. While its popularity has declined in the modern era, it still plays an important role in Taiwanese culture.

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.
