I've lived in Taiwan for nearly seven years now; my current excuse is that I'm working on a master's degree in Taiwanese history. Most of my shots are from bike rides or hikes in northern Taiwan--somehow over the years I've gradually transformed from a pale-skinned academic to something of a nature lover. I got my first DLSR in November 2010 and am trying to learn to be a "real" photographer this year. If you stop by, please leave a comment or two!
