Last weekend I headed out toward Jeongseon. Jeongseon is in the northeast part of south Korea and is a bit difficult to get to. But, being difficult to get to can be a good thing (i.e., no tourists; no nothing). Jeongseon used to be known for its coal mining, but those mines ran dry (is [...]

My windows are frozen on the inside. So, mom and dad, please stop complaining when it dips into the 30s back home! Here [...]

Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is an excellent book for those interested in learning more about the basics of photography… and especially those who have an expensive DSLR camera lying around but can only use it in Auto mode. I have been trying to learn more about photography, and in that process I picked up [...]
