Glossy fashion mag assertion:

Tall, slim and leggy is the most attractive.

Glossy fashion mag advice:

(a) High heels lengthen the leg and make you taller.
(b) Short Skirts make legs look longer.
(c) Control corsets make you look slimmer.

Therefore,  a+b+c = Taller, slimmer, leggier look

Accordingly, a+b+c = most attractive*

Change of Season



Sometimes it is important to give context to the focus of the image.  The buildings here are nearly out of the frame but they are of the utmost importance to this image as they allow the understanding of the scale of the clouds, the promote the contemplation of the softness in the cloud light because of their hard edges and geometric shapes and they prevent the attention of the viewer from wandering off the bottom right edge of the image by providing a block and perspective lines guiding the attention back to the cloud front and allowing it to linger long enough to pick out the moon.  F4 was enough to keep the moon and the buildings in focus.

Utility Bicycles





Bicycles like these have been servicing Seoul for more than 60 years and hopefully they will stay around for a while longer.

Summer, where the dolphins frolic in the grass.   


Chase Jarvis is right, the best camera is the one that you have when you wonder.

중랑천.

These shots were taken on a NEX-7 with the Sigma 30mm DN Lens.  

A Sunday afternoon 45km round trip on 중랑천 in Seoul, Korea. 



Valleys.  This is actually a nice space that is being created between the lego block apartments.  A creek with paths, artwork on the walls, fountains and a wading pool for the kids.  North-Eastern Seoul 당현천, 준계 1동.

친구. Friend.  The jog of a Normal lens is that if you take a photo like this you have to engage. You can feel the moment that these two are sharing and you become part of it.  A little smile, a nod, a thank you, and they are gone.  


 Don't like big scary factories ?  What if they were painted like this ? 



Seoul is a megalopolis, you wouldn't think so standing here. 


Weed.  Don't you hate labels? 


Family activity. 


The first wave of defence.





End Weekend.
