Orenji and the Mario Man

Sounds like those spy thriller titles, right? Or other movies from the 80's? The Serpent and the Rainbow. The Falcon and the Snowman. The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Wow. Those were certainly cheesed-out titles. This is just for fun – please indulge me my little indulgences.

Yes, I inherently think my cat is better looking than other cats. Is this fact not obvious?

What, you ask – I am being vague? Which fact is not obvious – that I inherently think my cat is better looking than other felines, or that he actually is? Whatever. Worship Orenji. Envy me. Your choice.

Orenji Shrek

And this other totally unrelated tidbit relates to my testing another internet technology, namely the embedding capabilities of my blogging program ecto™ and Mncast. It also gives me another chance to use the ™ symbol, because I like it and I can. If you see a movie linked to an animated Lego™ Mario (there I go again), then it works. If not, hmm.


The movie won't center. Damn. Oh, well. Enjoy anyway.

"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.
