Are Taiwan Pizza posts a thing on BlueSky?
In case you were wondering, no, that's not puke in the middle of the pizza. It's the new Beef Hot Pot Pizza from Pizza Hut.

I walked around Osaka on my most recent trip with my small Fuji camera attached to my shoulder strap. It can’t really compare to my new Canon R5II, but the images it takes are absolutely beautiful, especially in urban areas, like this.

As a Canadian, seeing red maples in Autumn was a pretty important thing growing up, but now that I'm living in Taiwan, it's not something I see often. Fortunately I was able to catch them in Japan during my recent trip, and even better is that I didn't have to rake them up off the lawn.

It’s Shichi-Go-San Day (七五三) here in Japan where all the 3, 5 and 7 year old children get dressed up and head to a shrine for some festivities.
It was pretty cute, as far as children go.. (I prefer dogs)

After years of waiting, I finally got a new dream camera. I took it out yesterday for a bit of a wet adventure through Pingxi, and shot this hand-held photo of the famed Shifen Waterfall, something I would have needed a tripod for with my older camera.
Quite pleased so far.

After what seems like hundreds of hours of research, translation, mapping, and data entry, my map of Taiwan's historic Shinto Shrines is just about ready to go live.
Bet you didn't know there were 360 of them!
TBH, I don't know why I did this, but I'm happy it's almost done!

Over the years I've spent quite a bit of money purchasing film and having it developed, so I figured instead of doing that I'd just do what all the other hipsters are doing and invest in a new Fuji camera. Fortunately I got it in time to take it to this year's Qingshan King Festival.

With the annual Qingshan King festival fast approaching, I've been getting lots of questions on my website about when it actually takes place. The Lunar Calendar strikes again! Kryptonite to foreigners! 😄
