Diplomacy

I recently took a trip to Taiwan sponsored by the Taiwanese Government Information Office in the company of some 11 other journalists from around the world. Larry Luxner, news editor of the Washington Diplomat, was the U.S. contingent. Larry also runs his own photo service and has just posted some pictures from that trip online. You can view them here.

It’s kind of fun for me to look at the pics because Larry’s used a few of his fellow travelers as models. For instance, this picture features
the Beijing correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald. And modeling
here is a staff editor for The Japan Times. (Oh look, here’s a senior
writer for the Western Standard checking out souvenir scarves.)

I might as well post another one of my photos from that journey, just for fun. Following
Larry’s style of captioning I’ll label this picture “(l to r) A Japanese journalist with The Japan Times, a Taiwanese Government Information Office intern, and Indonesian journalist with the Sinar Harapan Daily stand outside the Juming Museum in northern Taiwan.”

Here’s a picture of Larry–the guy by the tripod–that I took while he was taking a group shot of us on the front steps of Taipei 101. The other guy with the smaller camera is a journalist from Korea, one of us.
