One of the things unique to Taiwanese baseball culture is the official cheerleading squad of each team, who lead the fans in songs and chants tailored to every single player on the team's roster.

I haven't been taking out my camera much these past few weeks because I've been running, and I've finally managed to reach one of my goals: 5K in under 24:30. Not bad for a 40-something who just began running last year, I think.

In a departure from my usual film photography, this is a still taken on a hike this Saturday using a Lytro Illum, a lightfield camera that can capture 3D depth info in a single image, thus allowing for post-capture adjustments of perspective, focus, and depth of field.

"The smallest book shop in Taiwan," basically just a windowsill in what's known as Snail Alley in Tainan where an author has put their books for sale. Payment is honor-based, either into a box on the right or through mobile transaction.

We had typhoon-strength winds even here in Taipei for two days. I had to cut my daily evening run short yesterday because I felt I was going to be knocked down by the wind. And the typhoon just brushed off southern Taiwan, I can't imagine what's it's like for those in its path.

Another shot from the roll I'd forgotten about, this one must have been taken sometime in May this year. Unfortunately the cat passed away in August.

While going through my camera collection yesterday, I found an unfinished roll of film that I'd forgotten about in one of my two F4s. Since I was going to develop a batch today, I took out my macro lens and finished off the roll with some of my childhood Lego figures.

Nice you found one in working condition, I don't recall seeing one that still functions here.
Out of curiosity, how rare are CR123 batteries in your neck of the woods? Here in Taiwan, Panasonic-branded CR123 and CR2 batteries are still commonly found in convenience stores everywhere.
