Went with some current classmates this evening to a museum of sorts called Taipei Storyland, next to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi landmark building across the street from Taipei Main Station. It's a concept museum depicting Taipei life in the 1960s and may not be a permanent museum (much less a permanent exhibit).

All the shots are blurry, testifying to the Ricoh Caplio R4's poor performance in low light, but the re-creations of 60s Taipei were still quite fascinating. Not so much what I think of as photography as much as recording something I did or somewhere I went. Although there are still the elements of composition, aesthetic and deciding what's worthy of posting.
