Yes, I know. Things have been quiet around here on My Several Worlds. We’ve had a very busy summer. Our two-month visit with Caleb is drawing to an end and John’s mom joined us here in Taipei on Sunday. We’ve been racing around the city trying to cram in as much as possible with the time we have left.

I’ve also been devoting all my spare time to launching the new Taiwan Photographers site. I’ve had the ideas for this site in my head for ages now, and I finally decided to bite the bullet. The site has been completely overhauled and is now focused on connecting folks with the best photographers in Taiwan. Since the soft launch last week, traffic has skyrocketed and I’ve got a line-up of photographers waiting for their own profile page.

I’d like to point out that Taiwan Photographers is a site for photographers of all calibers and interests. Even if you’re an amateur (like me), you can still open a profile page to promote your work. In addition, there are a lot of valuable tips coming from some really great photographers, including Craig Ferguson, who hosted this year’s Worldwide Photowalk in Taipei. Craig is going to be offering some photography workshops in the near future, so tune in to Taiwan Photographers for more details.  The weekly photo stream has now become a daily photo stream, and the site is now offering a number of new features including:

• * the latest news in photographer and updates
• * professional biographies and sample portfolios from commercial photographers in the area
• * tutorials and workshops from some of Taiwan’s leading photographers
• * models available for work
• * a growing list of photographers in Taiwan who are dedicated to bringing you the very best images they have to offer
