Last week while roaming around West District, Taichung, I made a quick visit to Shěnjì New Village (審計新村), a renovated military dependents’ village enmeshed in the urban of Taichung. Rather than the usual bungalows this village consists of almost American-style homes, most of them still in surprisingly good condition. A set of vintage star-glass windows caught my eye on the upper levels.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
