I started my photography project yesterday (05/07/2011) at Seomyeon Station, just outside of the Lotte Department store, in Busan. If you didn’t already know I’m going to tell you something about myself. I love photography. I decided that I was going to improve skills and expand my knowledge in photography since I’m going to live in a beautiful country such as South Korea for a year.

This photography project is not new, and is actually an idea from one of my favorite contemporary photographers, Danny Santos II. Just like Santos, I want to capture the beauty of people. In this case I want to capture the beauty of the Korean people, one by one. I am undaunted by my project and it is actually quite exciting when I press down on the shutter. Weird? Maybe. Why is it exciting when I take a picture of someone or something? It is simple.  We are always busy, always moving and we are always thinking. Our environment also changes, but as soon as I press down on the shutter button time stops and I get to see how beautiful life can be. 

Anyway, I managed to take a couple of dozen shots and I’m going to upload the pictures very soon. Stay tuned! Until then, here is a taste of my project.
