Molly Burke Talk - Stoneridge Mall - Pleasanton, CA

(Blind accessibility photo descriptions are beneath each photo.) Went to the Molly Burke talk, and meet and greet at the Aerie Store in Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton, CA today. Of course there were a few other speakers there too. It was fun and inspiring. Here are the photos I took at the event. This blog post is a mix of cellphone photos and photos from my mirrorless camera. Due to the nature of these photos, blind accessibility captions are provided in the photo descriptions.

I went because Molly Burke's YouTube videos have helped me a lot in coping with my personal depression, PTSD, and anxiety issues. I've been watching her videos for years now and it has taught me how to find the positives when everything around you is so negative or when everything in your life seems to be falling apart. It has also helped me greatly with the vision difficulties I've been experiencing since last year (it mostly hits me hard after sunset daily or in a poorly lit room). Some of the tips I've picked up helped me adapt a lot faster to the vision difficulties than if I didn't have any help at all. I may be a photographer, but it doesn't mean I haven't been dealing with vision difficulties. It has definitely taken its toll on my photography since last year. It has caused new challenges, caused me to slow down, but I will push through and achieve the impossible.

Taiwan (台湾) 2011 (Part 5)

Last year, I made my first visit to Taiwan, R.O.C. I was very busy after I got back and never got a chance to look through them and pick out the photos I'm going to post. I finally took out enough time to finish, so... Here they are! I did not take many photo there as the tropical weather made me very sick. I will be splitting them into a total of 8 parts. I hope you enjoy viewing them!

我去年去台湾旅游了一次。我会把这些照片分成八章文章。

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To see my best Taiwan photos, use this link. To see all of my Taiwan photos from this trip, use this link.

Parts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

Today, I got the rest of the photos from the Mao Kong Gondola (猫空缆车) and will start the photos of the top of Taipei 101.

今天我有最后几张在猫空缆车上拍的照片,和开始台北101的照片。

Was pretty high up on the gondola. Managed to get a good landscape shot of Taipei.

Another landscape shot. Tower on the right is Taipei 101.  


Scenery 

So I get off the Mao Kong Gondola and it is beginning to get dark out. I went to the Taipei 101 observatory. There is Taipei 101 in the background. 
我离开了猫空缆车去台北101上面参观。

I thought it would be nice to get a few low angle shots of the tower.  

This is the Taipei 101 mall.  

There is the observatory ticketing office.  

Great views from up above.  

Scenery as seen from inside the tower. 

Some souvenir stores and snack stores at the top of Taipei 101.  

I forgot to bring a tripod or a mini tripod with me. It was dark outside, and I tried my best. This photo has slight motion blur... Looking through my other photos, I had worse. This one wasn't too bad so I posted it. 

Another photo inside the top of the tower of the visitor section.  

Another landscape shot of Taipei.  

Doesn't the lights look beautiful? 

That is all the photos for today. On the next post, I will finish off posting the photos from the top of Taipei 101 and begin the photos I took of my trip to Sun Moon Lake (日月潭). Please remember to share this blog post with your friends! I hope you have enjoyed it!

我下一次会把最后几张在台北101拍的照片登出来。我下一次也会开始登出来在日月潭拍的照片。
