The Taipei MRT system is continuing its rapid expansion, from additional lines in the city to arms that reach far into the Taipei County cities now known as New Taipei. Beyond the obvious benefits of reducing auto traffic, creating job opportunities, reducing street-level pollution, and increasing city-dwellers ability to quickly reach different areas of the city and beyond there have been a number of secondary benefits that have come from the citys investment.
Another week of shots off the mobile. Its just so darn convenient and faster to reach for something in my pocket than in my bag. Also, its a lot less conspicuous in a hospital where a couple of these were taken. Yes, Im fine. I was just there for a blood screening and MMR vaccination.
Did you know vaccinations fade after a couple of decades?
I did take advantage of some Taipei MRT construction that I came across with a proper camera, but since the photos are related theyll be posted under the Random Encounters banner next week.
Here we go.
As I alluded to in this past Streets Saturday post, I had to make a brief emergency trip back to the States. I really didnt have the time to do the things that I would normally want to do with a camera, like walk the Venice Boardwalk or hit the Santa Monica Pier, but I did have my trusty camera and mobile phone with me.
So, photos were taken and here they are:
I had a personal emergency a couple of weeks ago and didnt do much shooting. In fact, Im writing this while hurling over the Pacific to take care of it. That being said, I did happen across a few choice scenes while my mobile phone was in-hand.
So here you go.
After a (too long) hiatus, Im back with some new street photography from Taipei, Taiwan.
The best camera is the one thats in your hands. This axiom is especially true for enthusiasts of any sort of documentary photography, such as photojournalism or street. Given that my (and probably your) mobile phone is either on me or more accessible to me than my proper camera more often than not, it is actually an important component of my greater camera kit. As I did with my prior mobile (read my HTC Desire HD camera review), I put my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 camera through its paces and thought Id pass along my thoughts to you. With the exception of a few software differences (most involving S-Pen use), the Note 2 has the same camera package as its smaller brother so you can consider this a Samsung Galaxy S3 camera review, too.
