Scatter the floor like newsprint

Some old photos. Titles (if any ) are in italics. I picked the ones that meet my incredibly high standards for myself. Hope you like them. :)


Sunfall- taken on a porch attached to a house, which is attached to Long Beach island. So far, this is my favorite picture I've taken.




Workspace- Just a picture of my desk where I work. Taken a really long time ago. I rather like the contrast and pitch black shadows.


Nightwork- Another picture of my desk, I like the contrast better in this photo. The shadows are really dark, which makes the light all the more intense. This is why I love black and white film.


This was taken on a trip to South Korea I went on in 2007.
this was taken from the tour bus as it drove over a bridge. This is the street below. If it weren't for the Korean sigh just visible in the lower left hand corner, I'd think this was possibly New york City, or someplace in Jersey that was close to there.

Another Korea picture, this was one of the main gates of Korea's capital Seoul hundreds of years ago in the city's history (might even be longer than that, I'm not sure). One of the more famous gates, the West gate, which is right in the middle of modern day Seoul, burned to the ground recently. It was suspected to be an arson. I saw a news clip of it burning, and people were literally weeping (some falling to their knees) in despair as they watched it burn down. Koreans take their history very seriously. It's a part of them, and they respect it greatly.

World's cutest garbage can- I thought I'd wrap this post up with a sillier photo. this is a picture I jsut had to take of a garbage can, cause it looked so cute with that little yellow face on it. that yellow bannana shaped guy is seen all over Seoul, I think he's one of their mascots for some program, or the logo of their garbage service, I'm not sure. Another guy you see a lot is an animeish looking guy on a scooter, looking insanely happy, as he reminds people to ride their scooters cautiously and at a safe speed. He's on banners all over Seoul, 'cause a lot of people ride scooters, and mopeds, and the like.
