This Week

Paints laid out in an artists studio.

Before getting into this week’s round up of all that’s good, a quick note for any photographers in Taiwan. The 2011 Dajia Mazu pilgrimage begins this weekend. This is a photographically rich opportunity for anyone interested in this vibrant aspect of Taiwan’s culture and I urge you to get down to the Mazu temple in Dajia on Saturday if you can.

As someone who comes from Australia, the sport of cricket is in my blood but probably not to the extent that it is in the Indian subcontinent. With the recent World Cup having just concluded – congratulations India on your win – The Big Picture at boston.com has put together an excellent photo series of images of fans and cricket amongst the general public in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Dumplings at Jiufen Taiwan, a favorite site for Taiwan photographers.

Food at Jiufen, Taiwan

The photograph that opens today’s blogpost comes from Jiufen, a favorite destination of Taiwan photographers. It’s a little town in the hills above the north coast of Taiwan that is usually crowded with photographers, day trippers and tourists. The old market street where this was shot is a popular place for wandering and snacking. Before I get into the links for this week, I just want to put a call out looking for anyone who wishes to contribute to my Evolutions series. Yesterday’s post featured a fellow Taiwan photographer who took us through his evolution in photography over the space of 7 years and 3 trips to Angkor. If you missed it, head over to Evolution of a Photographer – Nick Kembel and give it a read, and if you’d like to send me a story of your own journey, get in touch.
