The Last Days at I Kids’ Park and Student Snaps

So this Friday ended my last full week of work at I Kids’ Park. I will go in on Monday and Tuesday and then I’ll be finished up. It’s a strange feeling. I’m excited to have some free time to do some photo work and relax, but mostly I’ll be busting my hump preparing for [...]

Monday morning update

It’s Monday morning. I’m having coffee and a coconut pastry, that means I’m happy. It seems the Paris Baguette “bange cheap” is the best place in the city for coffee so far… I still have to try a few other places. Most coffee shops serve the watered down, weak, weak, WEAK variety.

Trip to Seogwipo

I don’t have much time for writing now, here’s the skinny: We left for Korea on February 8th and arrived at night on February 9th, my birthday! We got a quick tour of the island on Sunday. I started work on Monday, yesterday… Overwhelming! Today I managed to process some images from the trip and [...]
