It is a special holiday today in Korea to remember the Samil Movement, when Koreans started to stand up against the oppressive colonialism of Japan. The massive protests were a catalyst towards the Korean Independence and freedom. Many brave people were a part of this movement and should be recognized as heroes for their country!

This is a picture that I took earlier this year, around the time that I decided to put a lot more effort and time into creating better photographs. Some days it feels like I haven’t gone anywhere with my work, but other days it feels like I can’t take a bad photo. The truth behind this photo is that I was crossing the street and blindly shooting as many shots as I could, so perhaps there’s a bit of luck that goes into all of this.

A shot from this past summer that I really liked, but was too similar to another photo I posted from that night, so I waited a few months to share this one. Can you find the other image I’m talking about?

It’s that time of year to find a good book and get lost in it. What are you reading?

The street I walk down every day to and from work. The sun sets perfectly right down the middle of the road and it’s been really nice lately.

In the week before I first moved to Korea, I consumed myself with as much Korean media as I could. I knew next to nothing about the country, so I listened to a lot of KPop, watched a few K-Dramas and watched some movies in order to get to know the place a bit. One of the movies I watched that week was The Admiral (명량), a film about the Battle of Myeongnyang led by General Lee Soonshin. It was a great depiction of the tactics Lee used to defeat a Japanese navy that outnumbered his fleet 330 ships to 13. After watching this movie, it’s no wonder why he is remembered as the greatest naval commander of all time.

It was a beautiful firework display last night at Lotte Tower. The event was a show of support for peace between the two Koreas. As an outsider, I’ll never truly understand the turmoil and divide that is between these countries, but I do hope their can be peace one day soon.

He was playing the Korean version of Hotel California. Not too bad, actually.
