Which, unfortunately, is closing at the end of this month. Talk about delicious sandwiches.
On my wedding day I’ll have a divorce lawyer on the ready, making threatening faces towards Younhee to remind her to smile. It’ll be wonderful.
My colleagues gave Don and myself a birthday lunch, pie and all. Thanks, guys.
As a spur of the moment sort of thing, we ended up at the top of Namsan last Sunday, where we had dinner at The Place and watched the sun go down. Afterwards, I wanted to try to make a cityscape photo of Seoul at night (or evening, technically), even though I wasn’t very well prepared. Without a tripod, and ISO100 film loaded, I used my old D80 as a fancy light meter to figure out the shutter speed required for a —hopefully decent— shot.
I used a fence as a make-belief tripod, tightly holding it down when pressing the shutter button, and holding by breath for the 4 seconds the shutter was opened. The result is not fantastic, but I’m quite pleased still, especially considering it’s my first time making a night-time cityscape photo, digital or analog.
For those interested, this photo was made with my Mamiya 645 1000s and 80mm lens using my increasingly favorite Kodak Ektar 100 film. I believe the aperture was set at 5.6 (or maybe 8), and shutter speed 4 seconds.
JuSung got married last Sunday. I wish them both the happiest life they can live. Congratulations, buddy.
I’m an uncle, again! 50 centimeters, 3.4kg. Born exactly 2pm today (Thursday). Beautiful :-)
When Youn-hee discovered the stamp corner where you can freely use the store’s stamps, she immediately sat down and started picking stamps, filling up her pieces of paper. I think altogether she sat there for 15 minutes, dedicated to her artwork.
When she finished, she came to me and handed me her gift. To Dave, it said.
Thank you, Youn-hee. You made me smile.
I never really understand why store owners don’t want you to make photos inside. I guess it could be related to competing stores wanting to copy the layout or inventory or whatever, but really, who gives a rats ass how your store looks. You sell the same crap as the other 453 stores around you in the same building and use the exact same layout already anyway, so how ’bout you let me make that shot of Youn-hee and go about your merry little life, hm?
Ahem.
