Action photography is a personal favourite of mine. There is immense satisfaction when composing, and capturing the moment the way you intended; and these young riders were talented! 😁📷

Reviving my Flickr Pro account this past week, and already have a new image making Flickr Explore.

Where the Alberta sky attempts to trump both the Rocky Mountains, and the famous lake it passes over.

My constant struggle with Instagram as a serious vehicle for photographic work. Notice the comment on this "monochromatic" image. Oh yeah, yes I'm on Instagram... it's a choice. Having said that you may post as many fist bumps, smiley faces, and one word reviews on the images of my feed as you would like! Especially photos with really dumb titles such as this one!

Interesting article on the the White House's Official Flickr account. Photo taken with a Sony Mirrorless, not quite my current main camera, but shot with a lens that I too own. http://petapixel.com/2015/10/07/the-white-house-is-shooting-with-a-sony-a7r-ii-now/

Guess who's shooting with a Sony a7r II camera now? Chief Official White House photographer Pete Souza. The latest photo posted to the official White House

Fresh from the sea; straight to your table.

Seafood and freshness of the highest order at the FuJi Fish Port. From the sea to the vendor to the restaurant not 50 yards away - that is if you like seafood that is.

Open-air markets and the hygiene mask subculture.

Hygiene masks are a part of the culture as much as are the open air markets. I quickly realized that it was only proper manners to wear one if you felt under the weather.

When you look down an alley in Taipei.

"Well, let me tell you what I have to offer!" Consumer heaven or consumer hell? It certainly depends on the person!

Confucianism in perspective, .

The Taipei Confucius Temple. Clean, orderly, quiet; reflecting Confucian philosophy. As a man I made sure to step through the entrance leading with my left foot as is the custom.

It's an egg store! All prepared, and ready to sell in a variety of traditional, and tasty ways. Don't worry lady, your vat of eggs will sell!

Tea eggs are very popular, so popular that you wonder if the market ever becomes saturated. A lull in business. However, it's a egg shop, if the tea eggs aren't selling chances are some other egg will.

Night markets are huge! Some easily cover 6 square city blocks; everyone descends on the various night markets once their regular day is done.

Nightlife in Taipei suits the young crowd. Easily accessible without the need for a car, venues like the numerous night markets serve up multiple distractions for a reasonable price.

Street photo with a view of a MRT station. When in Taipei, why take a car, ever!

Street photography and a street conversation with Jiannan Road Station in the background, one of the many MRT stations across the city. Public transportation in Taipei is fantastic.
