When I lived in Korea, I worked with some really great guys, all of whom shared with me a favorite film: The Big Lebowski. In case you’re not familiar with the film, The Big Lebowski, like most Coen Brothers films, has a cult following; unlike the rest, it has probably the biggest following of all. [...]
For those of you who are not familiar with Korea’s publication scene, Groove Magazine is one of a small handful of monthly magazines that caters to expats in the country. Groove runs stories on travel, food, employment issues, entertainment – you name it. This February, they ran a story about The Metro Project. If you’re [...]
If you couldn’t already tell by the tag cloud to the right, I am a Nikonophile. That means I check Nikon Rumors daily and have invested completely in an all-Nikon system. At one time, I had a Pentax film body, and I still own a Canon point-and-shoot, but for my serious photography needs, I’m Nikon [...]
In another life, I was a writer. Okay, I still am, but not professionally. Before making it back to the States, I wrote around 30 textbooks, plus exams and other materials. Before that, I was pumping out papers as an graduate student in English. Although none of that was as fulfilling to me as photography, [...]
I’ve finally done it. I’ve made select prints of my photography for sale. This is never really something I thought I’d do; in fact, in the past, I had kind of scorned web sales of photography. I felt that it reeked of hubris, of unmitigated pride. I’m willing to admit that I’m wrong. Why the [...]
Nearly three years ago, Flash Parker put out a call to photographers in the Seoul Photo Club on Flickr asking for help with a grand vision: photograph every metro stop on the Seoul metropolitan subway system. That’s 546 stops, folks. Let that sink in. It’s no wonder he asked for help; how could one man [...]
This post is coming late, but better late than never, eh? Late posts are what happens when unexpected work comes your way. When I lived in Korea, I took it upon myself to send out a holiday image each year to the people I missed and cared about back home (I didn’t exclude my new [...]
Asking someone to let you be their photographer isn’t really difficult, but expecting them to immediately trust you with the record of their happiness is difficult. Jill and Drew didn’t seek me out – I reached out to them. It can be difficult to make a start in photography as a business, and some finagling [...]
Much of the travel photography in my galleries (in terms of countries covered, anyway) was generated on a European adventure I embarked on after leaving Korea, my home of nearly four years. On the way back, my partner Ting and I made our way through Ting’s sister’s city – Washington, D.C. – as well as [...]
