At a high point with nothing to obstruct your view up, you realize how vast the sky is and how small we are. Really, Korea's skyscrapers fade in the distance but the sky doesn't, it just swallows the edge of the horizon. Photography has been off my schedule too much lately. Many times now I find myself staring too late at a great sky right outside my window because I was too busy doing things indoors.<br />
Fall has got the best weather and the best skies. Vacation should be in the fall, when its great to go out and exist outside of four walls. Summer is hot so everyone scurries to the comfort of air-conditioned indoors, and days are longer so we could get so much more done if we had classes during then. Half the time its raining anyway. I just want to climb a hill or go to a park or bike downtown or do anything but study. Isn't it time we change the system?Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-79904432497324095592013-10-20T22:08:00.000+09:002013-10-20T22:08:15.773+09:00October 20, 2013.

The percussionist of The Corona. He was drafted into the band by the bassists who happens to be his college professor. While casually waiting to start their night's performance he slapped one hand on the front of his cajon setting a beat I couldn't have done with five.

The first shot from a photoshoot I had with the band The Corona. I got to know them through a street performance and was moved by their talent. I immediately found them on facebook and asked if they were interested in a photoshoot. They liked the idea, we set it up and a few weeks later we are at Sky Park shooting away. The shoot got a bit rushed because they arrived late and then had to take the long walk down the park to move their car which wasn't parked correctly, on top of that the weather was not what I was hoping for. I had to improvise and go for a totally different look but I ended up happy with the results anyway (I hope they are too). I hope I captured the feel of their music with this. You can check them out at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BandTheCorona">https://www.facebook.com/BandTheCorona</a>. Unfortunately they don't have any music available online yet but for those of you in Korea, they update when they are performing on the street.

Seoul has a lot of abandoned bicycles. It seems for every 10 bicycles you see at a stand, 1 of them is abandoned. It's even worse for those in front of housing, then sometimes up to half of them are old, rusty and falling apart. Sometimes they don't even have seats or the tires have been flat so long they're beginning to crack at the bottom. This one was overgrown with vines, and it's such a waste, but this happens to anyone with anything. Think about the things you have laying around that you never use but you keep because "you never know when you might need it" or "you never know when you might feel like using it." I'm not saying we should throw everything we don't use out, but pointing out that there are things that aren't being used by us that someone else could get a lot out of. I've experienced a lot of that the last moving, getting rid of things that hurt to get rid of but where not getting any use, and then adopting things other people weren't using into our own house (like a broken desk chair, the wheels and base were completely gone so we turned it into a floor chair!) A bicycle overgrown with vines is such a shame... Today I saw a homeless person who was on a bicycle that didn't even have tires...Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-51164737070690477102013-08-12T21:12:00.001+09:002013-08-12T21:12:27.323+09:00August 12, 2013.

"Shall we go up?"<br />
For a moment we debated. The sign said 1.5km more to the tower, not much but it was getting dark fast. We had just gone for a quick stroll and the weather was hot and insanely humid. I was already unpleasantly drenched in sweat so a flatter route would've been nicer. But then again, we were at a mountain park, nowhere else to go but up.<br />
After a shrug. "Alright..."<br />
We made it past the stairs and about halfway up before going "Screw this! It's too hot. I'm going home to stand in front of the A/C."<br />

There is a ridiculous amount of cicadas buzzing in Korea right now, and while we humans are dying in this intense humid heat, insect life is flourishing. This shell left behind reminded me of a conversation I had with someone last night about people changing. He commented on how much the people he knew changed after they came to Korea, unfortunately it didn't seem like a good thing. I feel the situation is different on my side. My friends all changed a lot here, but a lot of that involved becoming more mature and responsible. Though my relationships with them haven't changed much (other than the frequency with which we see each other) everyone is a completely different person now. Life is more serious, and we had to leave behind that skin of careless teenagers that just want to have fun.Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-87270694585610926702013-08-08T21:53:00.001+09:002013-08-08T21:53:36.321+09:00August 8, 2013.

Simple life people doing simple life things.<br />
Everyone wants to be big and successful... or do they? From young we are taught that we need a lot or we will be failures, and so we grow unsatisfied when we have less. Thing is, we will always have less, because someone will always have more. But what is wrong with a simple life where you just earn enough for what you need and the rest is up to you? No need to make more money, no need to buy more toys that throw you in debt, no more expensive clothes that are no better quality than the cheap stuff. A simple home with simple stuff. No stress from worrying about others think of you. Did everyone ever tell you that's okay too?Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-39607042388326987502013-08-07T21:44:00.001+09:002013-08-07T21:44:30.863+09:00August 7, 2013.

It's amusing how Seoul tries to be so symmetrical and uniform when in reality the city is on crooked land. If you look at Korea on Google maps it looks like a wrinkled napkin, which makes my attempts at minimalist, symmetrical composition a nightmare. I've seen other photographers struggle with this too. You try to line everything up but if you make one thing stand straight something else goes crooked, and if you have the horizon straight then all your vertical lines will be tilted to one side. You sort of have to find an angle where it balances out and FEELS straight but if you stare at it long enough it's like a pile of pick-up-sticks. I guess that's why the first floor of most buildings is marked as B1, since you can walk in on one side but on the other it's underground because the building is standing on a slant. You never know what floor you are on here.Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-66066983751827168662013-08-06T20:42:00.000+09:002013-08-06T20:42:16.498+09:00August 6, 2013.

I'm really happy with my new neighborhood. It's tough to get to on foot because of the height, but that pays off with a view and quiet. I hope this is the last time I feel the need to move in Korea since it's an expensive and stressful process, but it helps you reflect on things like the realization of how much stuff you actually have, and also gives you a chance to do some manual labor (carrying things, cleaning, etc) which keeps you busy and mostly disconnected from the internet. Once you're all settled in you feel much lighter and more organized, and excited for all of the opportunities to make change in your life since it's sort of a new start.Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-46563809451486611622013-08-04T20:14:00.002+09:002013-08-04T20:14:49.525+09:00August 4, 2013.

It was a rare day in Seoul and I had to capture the sunset. I live on the side of a mountain now, so it's easy to get views over the city. My neighborhood is quiet and relatively clean, a great place to relax and watch the sun go down with some company and a camera on a tripod. I really like where I am right now.

I'm moving to a new house tomorrow. It's closer to my school and has a lot of space. Now that I will have a living room available I'm hoping this space will allow me to try new things and grow more. The new area I will be living in will also present opportunities when I take on photo walks. I'm hoping all this change will be positive and promoting growth. I don't know if I'll be able to get anything up tomorrow, and I really should be packing right now (not even halfway done) but I hope you enjoy this vibrant flower edited in vintage fashion!Wesley Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10012626891505500026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550558010908346526.post-77068712154126132802013-07-30T21:52:00.002+09:002013-07-30T21:52:31.512+09:00July 30, 2013. 6am Walk<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Admit it. I don't care how old you are, you still think bubbles are fun, and you'd be happy if you had this bubble gun. Well with all this free vacation time I borrowed a ton of equipment from school to play around a bit. There wasn't much of an original concept at first, we just went with what seemed like fun.<br />
