And Now, For Something Upbeat...

It's good to see people coming together from all over the world in a positive way.

Wouldn't it be nice if people could participate in similar things and see our common similarities, instead of the stereotypes and differences?

I hate to sound all "We Are the World," but things are getting pretty frickin' depressing over here in Korea for us foreign types. From all the stuff I've been feeling lately, seems like we're fast becoming the collective "왕따" of Korean society.

Whew. Seeing people from different countries come together in a good way really makes me long for home, especially as we enter the holiday season.

Anyone got any cheery news involving foreigners and Koreans that isn't related to some English camp or something? I think we need it 'round here.

"Why Be Critical?"

  • Before you say this site is "anti-Korean" or bashing Korea – read this: "Why Be Critical?" Chances are, if you're simply angry because I am a social critic in Korea but not actually Korean, see if your argument isn't just a kneejerk response that follows these patterns.

Photo Classes!

  • Session 1: Just the Basics Dealing with the basic operations and functions of your DSLR, explaining each function, button, and doo-hickey. The bulk of the session is likely going to stick around the relationship between aperture and shutter, as well as depth-of-field. Basically everything on your camera has something to do with this relationship.

    Session 2: Composition and Shooting (Shooting Session 1) We'll take those examples and look at them on the big screen, while also answering the concrete questions that will pop up about the stuff we learned before. Then we'll talk about composition and other framing issues, including lens lengths and why some lenses are worth $100 bucks and some are worth $10,000.

    Session 3: Flashes and Advanced Exposure (Shooting Session 2) Dealing with flash, in terms of compensating above and below exposure levels (bracketing), as well as other bracketing techniques in general.

    Session 4: Final Session/Critiques Keeping it open, determined by the class.

    Four 3-hour sessions, as well as shooting sessions, photo discussions, and critiques. An individual photo essay will also be done as part of the ongoing class assignments. Inquire at the email address at the top right of this page.
