Snow and a curious, but potentially angry goose… yep, it's Canada!

More in camera pano action for you. This is the Parliament building in Taipei. Taiwanese politics are more often than not, explosive to say the least. Legislative sessions have been known to erupt in anger, resulting in middle aged to older men and women in suits brawling on the house floor. Just google Taiwan Parliament Fights and check out the images. Which is in complete contrast to the overall politeness of the Taiwanese population at large (or at least, certainly the many folks we encountered during our visit).

This was shot on a rainy day from across the boulevard. The guards refused to let me shoot from the same side of the street as the building, but had no issue if I just walked across the street. Don't ask me how that makes it any less of a security risk, but whatever. I was tempted to yell "Photography is NOT a crime!", but knowing that the politicians inside could get quite violent, I didn't want to imagine what these guards would be like if I hadn't complied. Especially given that it was only a couple days away from the presidential elections.

As per usual, I'm trolling through the archives rather than scanning the dozens of rolls of film sitting on my floor. Those of you who've been following me for a while know that I'm a huge fan of toy camera panoramas. This shot was one of a series I shot in Kiev at the Lavra during our 3 month stint in Eastern Europe a couple summers ago.

Originally shot on Provia 400, then cross processed. But my scanner really did not like this strip of film, and no amount of messing with it yielded a usable result in colour, so I converted to B&W.

Another one of these 'this is not a Toy Camera' shot… At the Star Ferry pier to Cheung Chau and the other outlying islands around Hong Kong. Taken with a Nikon FG, Nikkor AI-S 50mm f/1.2, and a glass fisheye lens held in front. Shot on Velvia 50 that expired in the 90's.

Amazingly, it's been over 3 and a half months since I've posted a shot from my Holga. So be warned, there will be a bit of an onslaught for the next while of toy camera crap. This is the Lover's Bridge in Tamsui, Taipei. Shot using the microclics technique - this is 8 or 9 slightly overlapping exposures.
