Buildings


February 3, 2007 - Daan Park footbridge. I always liked that building on the southwest corner at the Heping East Road-Xinsheng South Road intersection. The windows are a colorful patchwork of, I dunno . . . different shit - hey, I never said I was a poet!

This was in the last days before I moved. I miss that neighborhood. I'm sure my new neighborhood has hidden appreciations that would come out if I suddenly moved again.


February 5, 2007 - Taipei 101 at night. I think I held the 2 on my lap and opened up the shutter for a really long time, and it looks like I did a half decent job of holding it really, really still. I was probably holding my breath. Fortunately I can hold my breath longer than it took to get this exposure.

iTunes soundtrack:
1. Quiet (Smashing Pumpkins)
2. Motorway (The Kinks)
3. Leaving Here (Eddie Holland - Motown)
4. Sale of the Century (Sleeper)
5. Natural Disasters (Enon)
6. Punk (Gorillaz)
7. Knives Out (Radiohead)
8. Invisible Sun (The Police)
9. Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (Will Smith)
10. Jigsaw Youth (Bikini Kill)

Haha, a lot of times I look up at Taipei 101 in awe of it as the tallest building in the world, sometimes I look up and think, "Is that the best we can do?"
