Poagao's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

照相因為太簡單, 所以並不容易...Taking pictures is hard, not because there's so little beauty in the world, but because it's everywhere, in all scales, sizes, shapes and colors, up and down, front and back...todo me parece bonito.

I'm a left-handed ex-American Taiwan national living just outside Taipei. Besides taking pictures, I make films and edit for a living. In my spare time I play with a jug band called The Muddy Basin Ramblers and practice various forms of Tai-chi. I was born on Christmas.

"I have been thinking about visit Taiwan for very long time since I am curious and also have many friends there. It is still not possible to go there as independent traveller, but I feel like I am in Taipei from seeing Poagao's work! continue your good work I am really enjoy it."

Piez says:

"Poagao的照片很有張力，不論在構圖上、色彩上、光影上，每一張都呈現一個有別於一般拿相機的人的觀點。"

davidreid says:

"A dark rainy night in Taipei is not the best place for photography, but Poagao still manages to take a lot of great photos in these conditions. I also admire his ability to capture beauty and detail in places most people wouldn't even think to look."

"Amazingly Hot and Sexy, Well Traveled, and Equally As Incredible At Photography!"

"Taipei Noir - that should be Poagao's registered trademark!

I love seeing Taipei at night through his lens. This otherwise dreary city becomes mysterious and dramatic, I'd dare say even romantic."

Amstrad says:

"Probably the best night pictures i saw of taipei belong to Tc. He got a special ability to catch the magic of this city. And he's still smart enough to keep away from the arrogance of the good artists, a modest and kind man who was a pleasure to meet and share some minutes of my life with"
