taiwan
it is not “san fran.” still call it home. lived there from 1995 to 2007.
lived in an area i call true china town where you do not see so many tourists but even in the post ofice and banks most employees and customers speak chinese to each other.
loved walking and eating dim sum.
the first time i ever went to japan was on a day trip from dallas, in 1990 when i was in business school. call me nuts but it was one of my best one day trips. slept only 2 hours and walked all night and day, trying to absorb all i could. i am always curious about japan…from the mind of the people to the taste of their food, so beautifully presented. as for tokyo, it never ceases to amaze me and keeps my adrenaline going full force.
last time i was in tehran was in 1978 when I was 18 years old. lots of changes. no idea who took these pictures but i was happy to see them and wanted to share them with you.
I am mainly interested in modern art. A couple of “emergin artists” I discovered are now among Japan’s top young artists.
And some, like Yuichi Inoue (Japan’s foremost avant garde calligrapher) are simply the best there is.
