Holy shit - I didn't realize the Olympics were happening. Time to figure out how to watch the curling from Taiwan.

It’s really cool how all the countries have their country name across the front of their jersey!

In Taiwan, the Malayan night heron is commonly called the "big dumb bird". I quite like them. I did some refining of this cyanotype print today. #alternatephotography

I made a #cyanotype of a Malaysian night heron that my fiancé photographed. I'm pretty stoked about how this came out.

The Astros-Giants trade is done, source said. More here on the rationale behind it, with @andrewbaggarly.bsky.social - www.nytimes.com/athletic/700...

The #Astros are gonna have a Taiwanese ballplayer? Let's gooo!

My fiancé took a way better picture of this Habu (I think?) with her much more advanced camera. Beautiful and extremely venomous.

Also, stopped for some photos on the side of the road and got really close to accidentally stepping on this guy. I believe it's a small Taiwan Habu...extremely lucky to see this beautiful danger noodle.

I drove from Hsinchu to Taipei and back today on my scooter. Never done that before. It was actually a pretty fun drive. The most shocking part about it was that the weather in Taipei was significantly better than in Hsinchu. 🙃

Film photography in a dense forest is quite tricky. This is a tree I quite like, with all it's ferns growing in the canopy. It's just so busy and detailed in every direction. I'd really like to get better at this in the future. Olympus OM40 - Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 HP5+ #believeinfilm

I love that nature is absolutely absurd. Makes me feel sane in *gestures around* these times.

Oh no, I just learned that 🥕🍸 signed with the Twins. Gonna miss that guy.

A little light leak on a bleak winter day. It was my first time rewinding on this camera and the back popped open for a fraction of a second. Luckily it *kinda* works in this photo. Pentax ME Super - 28mm f/2.8 Kodak Vision 3 250D #believeinfilm

I hiked Five Finger Mountain today and my goodness, that is a helluva hike. My legs are jelly. A bunch of grandpas and grandmas were also doing the hike and I don't know how their knees are still functioning. Props to them. Looking forward to seeing some film photos with my new Zuiko 28mm f/2.8.

Kyle Tucker, my goodness. My students will all be fans of him soon.

So I thought that I had shot an entire roll of 800T, but it appears that I didn't load it properly and nothing got exposed. 🫠 I'm assuming everyone makes this mistake at some point, right? #filmphotography

Farmer's Nook in Color Olympus OM40 - Zuiko f/1.4 Vision 3 250D I was taking some photos with my Olympus at the same time that I was borrowing the Nikon FA. I wanted to see how I felt about the Nikon FA while taking the sameish shots. The Olympus with the Zuiko lenses win for me. #believeinfilm

Just felt the most gentle earthquake here in Hsinchu. Long, but gentle. Weird.

Cornbread with cheddar and green chiles is one of the great pleasures in life. No jalapeños in Taiwan, so I used the slightly mild medium green peppers common here. This rules with the pork I braised.

Long underwear season has officially begun in Taiwan.* *I'm an official** person now wearing long underwear. **I mean that I'm a real person. I'm now toasty.

Sad day in the U.S. On Monday, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut itself down. Defunded by Congress with fears (and rightly so) that the Trump administration would pervert the organization to further undermine free media...

You know it's cold in Taiwan when you go to grab a beer from the Family Mart fridge after a 20 minute scooter ride home and it feels warm.

These absolutely rule. I love the focus of each one.

I borrowed this Pentax MESuper from my local cameramonger to see if I like a wider angle lens and to satisfy my curiosity. It's wild how small it is compared to my already small OM40, and I kinda dig the up-down button shutter speed adjustment in manual mode. #filmphotography

Give us MORE, Daddy Crane.
