This'll Make You Wince...I Hope

Umm...I respect her getting up there and doing her thing, but she doesn't do the faux-ignorant schtick like Sarah Silverman can -- she gets away with it in a way that somehow doesn't come off as her just telling a bunch of bad ethnic jokes. This girl just makes me wince and wish she wasn't up there. The audience kind of seems to share my sentiment. [HT to Korea Beat]

Ouch. Work on the act, girl. It just comes off as self-hating. If you want to see pushing-the-edge of humor and the faux-ignoramus persona done well, here you go.

Holy sheet, dude! But I don't have an exact handle on WHY Silverman is funny, but Koo isn't. They both drop bad Mexican jokes, but Koo's falls flat, while Silverman makes me nearly upchuck on my screen. I've seen her on Letterman even do black jokes, which I also found funny, but can't find on YouTube. Anyone care to expound?

"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.
