Taiwan scenes: 1977. I haven’t spent a lot of time in Taiwan (unfortunately!) but I have made many short visits over the decades, beginning in the late 70s until most recently in late 2024. The subject of Taiwan came up recently in conversation with Tyrel Eskelson in his Interlocutor podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=XSZdDG… @tyrelcameroneskelson My observations are anecdotal and personal and not meant as authoritative by any stretch, other than to recommend watching the films of Taiwanese film makers from that key 80s and 90s period. Not named but who I meant are the greats like Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai Ming-liang and Edward Yang, to start with. 1-3. Taipei, 1977. Link to my books in bio. greggirardpictures.com

@meiguo_niupai Somehow. It’s like walking between the passing seconds.
I don’t use a large format 4x5 camera that much but when I do I’m usually pretty happy with the results and wonder why I don’t do it more often. I use a tripod a lot, and always have, and so why not just use the big camera? (I know the answer: it’s slower, heavier, but that’s sort of what’s happening with me anyway). 1. 118 Main Street. 2012. 2. Tim Hortons. Surrey. 2024. 3. Seoul view, 2010. 4. Bridge, trees, waterfront. 2013. Link to my books in bio. greggirardpictures.com

Convenience stores. Shanghai, Afghanistan, Hanoi, Japan… 1989-2008. 1. Shanghai, 2005. 2. Near Spin Boldak, Afghanistan. 1989. 3. Hanoi, 2010. 4. Sasebo, Japan. 2008. Books available via link in bio. greggirardpictures.com
End of the runway pictures. 1972-2017. Shanghai, Tokyo, Vancouver… I’ve probably mentioned that technically I’m not an aviation enthusiast, but I’ve always been quite taken with airports and everything around them. I had the good fortune to travel a lot on assignment while based in Hong Kong and Shanghai but funnily enough I probably made more “airport” pictures while not working. While racing to get out of town on a news assignment it perhaps felt a bit frivolous to pause and photograph a waitress at the airport bar, or linger by a window with a tarmac view. So, it was mostly in the down times, or while otherwise travelling without any urgency, that I could spend unhurried time in or around a particular airport. Or, when I was younger and time was more or less infinite. 1. Shanghai, Hongqiao Airport. 1998. 2. Vancouver, 1972. 3. Hongqiao Airport, Shanghai, 1998. 4. Narita, Japan, 2017.
