2014 YEAR IN REVIEW

Yes, it's that time of the year. In 2013 I mainly focused on European cityscapes and this year it's Taiwanese landscape, I learned the difference of the climate condition between the two and how to deal with it on site and in post-process. Another major discovery I made during my hike of Mt. Jade (and all the prep-hikes) was that the mountains are the true treasures of this island, and those hikes also opened up a new field of photography for me; And on the business front, I've tried and adjusted a few different methods and strategies on establishing and marketing my work, trial-and-error process is always time-consuming and sometimes frustrating, but a lot has been learned and eventually I had some success! 

Overall, 2014 is a year of improvement, I understand myself better than ever and know exactly what I want to achieve in the future, and that gives me confidence to tackle/enjoy  all the challenges and adventures in 2015!

The following is my favorites of 2014 in the order of time taken, hope you enjoy them :)

Mt. KEELUNG, NEW TAIPEI CITY


I've seen so many photos of Mt. Keelung on the internet and have been eager to photograph it for a while. This spot on the trail to Teapot Mountain has a bird-eye view of the Shui-Jing-Jeou (水金九) area -short for the names of three neighboring towns that surround Mt. Keelung, is perfect for my purpose. So I planned to go up there before the weather front came in and praying for a clear, crisp night sky.

The two most well known department stores in Paris are probably Galeries Lafayette and Printemps which situated behind Palais Garnier.
 I'm personally not interested in shopping, so the only reason I go to these department stores is for photography.
