It’s been an amazing two weeks filled with travels, from last week in Austin, Texas to this week in New York and currently, Boston. I’ve spent almost no time in front of the computer, which is both great and terrifying (not checking email for two whole days!?), but at the moment, I’ve got my setup…
I’m here in Austin, Texas, with other staff and board members of TaiwaneseAmerican.org as we hold our parallel conference with ITASA Midwest. Wide open spaces, lots of pretty buildings, beautiful blue skies. I’ll be online less this weekend, but I leave you with these images for now.
I love the feeling of moving freely through spaces, walking through cities, and exploring and traveling across imagined boundaries. I can feel my sense of place and belonging expand as I move. I think this sensation is partly why I’ve always loved traveling. This past week has been incredible. Spurred by daylight savings, I’ve been…
It’s been a week since the Census 2010: Write in “Taiwanese” video debuted on YouTube, and it’s already garnered over 120,000 views. Produced by Slideshow Pictures in conjunction with at least seven Taiwanese American organizations, the public service announcement is part of a larger campaign to get Taiwanese Americans to self-identify on the US Census…
They hadn’t been dating long, but things were going well when he called from his business trip in Paris. It was a Wednesday, just like any other Wednesday; they both loved traveling, and they were often jetsetting around the world for their jobs. So he called her and said, Hey. There are some cheap tickets……
Miles driven by others: 37 Miles flown: 390 Miles driven by myself: 150 ____________________________________ =577 miles traveled, and that’s just today. Sometimes exhaustion is the most gratifying feeling in the world. In that moment when you finally sit down and have a chance to rest, you can feel the very essence of gravity as it…
I’ve been working this week at Taiwanese American Foundation, the summer camp I’ve attended since I was ten years old. I’m serving as part of tafLabs, a new program in which we develop projects to make awesome things happen in our community. To see some of the multimedia work we’ve been doing, follow out the…
Welcome to Taiwanese American Foundation 2009: Sprout! After a two-year absence on my part, I am very happy to return for my 13th year at TAF, this time as a member of the TAFMedia crew. Our first project of the week: given 24 hours, produce a video to be used as the Intro/Theme skit for…
I had a wonderful double session with two lovely ladies at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Apparently we have a lot in common: we discovered that all three of us had lived in Michigan and gone to school in North Carolina. And then we all converged in Cincinnati! haha. Amy, cellist, and Holly, violist,…
Since I’m behind on updates, I’ve decided to just keep posting images from my adventures in no particular order. Here are two pictures from our day trip to Point Reyes a couple weeks ago. Jennie and Johnny were in the Bay Area visiting, so we grabbed a couple people and headed up the Marin coast…
Since I had a 4 days off for Memorial Day weekend, I talked Dan Garrison into booking tickets and flying over from Philly for some adventures from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Pictures first. Then an overview of how our California road trip went down. Dan in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood…
Sunsets are so obviously beautiful, every camera-wielding human being seems compelled to take a photo. Sunsets, flowers, cute babies… I guess I can’t stop myself either. This is a collection of sunset images from Pacific Grove when we went on a spontaneous weekend visit back in March. It was ridiculously cold and windy, but of…
