I've been taking pictures of people in motion lately. There's just something about Seoul that moves quickly in a visual way, which I'm trying to capture with the camera.
This sense of motion also has something to do with color, and these two cues – hurried motion and vivid color splashes – is what fires my itchy shutter finger. I am nearly compulsive these days with my camera; it often accompanies me to the bathroom.
I rarely actually keep the camera in its bag, and if you see me, you'll see it there with me. Were this not the case, I would never be able to capture scenes like two men whizzing past me, one on the back of his friend's bike, who doesn't even bother to grab a hold as he calmly takes a toke. Technically, it's not compelling, but it is a sign that I'm still no slower than my camera warmup cycle.
But when I'm walking through the city, it's never in sleep mode – the camera's too busy taking pictures.
