Taipei Nighthawks series

Whenever I come home late, I pass by this noodle shop. They have closed for the night only a few minutes before I pass by. He is always squatting there in this position, checking something on his smartphone, and the last light from the shop illuminates his white T-shirt.

This is a black-and-white photo of a quiet nighttime street scene, likely in Taipei. The photo has a moody, cinematic atmosphere, with strong contrasts of light and shadow.

In the center of the image is a small food stall or shop. The upper half of the shop is brightly lit from inside, illuminating a counter with packaged goods or snacks neatly arranged in rows. Above the counter hangs a short curtain with Chinese writing, suggesting the name and type of business—possibly a snack or specialty shop.

In front of the shop, in the dim light of the street, a person is sitting on the ground, hunched slightly, looking at a smartphone. The glow of the screen faintly lights their face. They appear to be taking a break or waiting, and they seem relaxed but slightly weary.

To the right, a traffic cone and a large trash bin are placed near the sidewalk. The surroundings are framed by closed shutters, tiled walls, and some faded posters or wall graphics. The street is quiet, empty of traffic or people except for the lone figure. The image captures a moment of solitude, everyday life, and calm urban stillness.

Amid the bustling chaos of Tokyo a solitary figure finds calm under the urban rain with echoes of Bruce Davidsons poetic solitude. , , , ,

Karaoke singing is very popular in Taiwan. Apart from the large karaoke parlours, or K-TV as they are called in Taiwan, there are also Mini-K-TVs throughout the city, like in this MRT station in Da'an district.

The image is a color photograph taken in Taipei, showing two individuals standing in front of two adjacent kiosks labeled "The COCO BAR." These kiosks are designed for private karaoke sessions, as indicated by the "MiNi K.T.V." signage on the screens inside each kiosk. The individuals, seen from behind, appear to be examining the kiosks, possibly preparing to use them. The surrounding area looks like part of an indoor public space or a transit station, with a map and a change machine visible on the right side of the image. The overall atmosphere suggests a modern urban setting.
