I Love HsinYi

I love HsinYi District. Where else in the world can you find all these things in one spot on the same day?

Return of the Takumar

The year was 1971. To celebrate my arrival and capture my adorable smiles, my father smashed the family piggy bank and bought a camera. Not just any camera, but the most advanced camera of its day, the Pentax Electro-Spotmatic. It was the first camera in human history to feature aperature-priority auto-exposure. While that doesn't sound like much now, it was a revelation back then. To give you an idea what a big deal it was, it took Canon another two years to launch a similar product.
