Weak, Geek, and the Week: An Update on my Inactivity
To say I’ve been a little inactive this week would be an understatement. I thought I’d use this blog update to fill you in on why I appear to have fallen from the face of the Earth, and what I’ve been up to since I posted last.
This Week’s News: Photo of the Month in Gwangju News
My photograph of an off-the-beaten-track segment of Boseong’s green tea plantations was selected as Photo of the Month in Gwangju News magazine. I was asked to write a short article about the image.
Weekend Haps – Nabbing my First Magazine Cover in Busan Haps
A first for me in photography, I find my work selected for the cover of a nationally circulated magazine, Busan Haps, as well as a feature on the Must-See places in Korea. Read on to see the photographs and to find out more.
A Moment in Time, Forever ~ The Philosophy of Photography
After strolling through a neighbourhood I know and love, I stumble into the murky waters of philosophy in photography. Here I explore the role of the photographer as he who captures and preserves moments for future generations to relate to, to feel and to interpret.
Big Day South: Concert Photography in Korea
As a lover of live music (this being such a rarity in my neck of the woods), I couldn’t resist the draw of Korea’s newest indie-music festival. Camera in hand, I paid into Big Day South, held in Daegu’s vibrant city-centre. See how I got on with some photography and my reaction from the concert.
A Break from the Boardom: Photography from the Heart
A Break from the Boardom is a mini-series of mine that was borne out of shooting what moves you. PIK Magazine asked me to write up the story behind the project, and in doing so I was able to shed light on a lesson that needs to be learned early in the process of shaping up as a photographer.
The Candyman: Traditional Occupations in Modernising Korea
The Candyman is a mini-series, and part of a larger focus of mine on traditional occupations in modernising South Korea. The larger project is yet to get off the ground, but it seemed wrong to confine these to a hard drive.
Tongyeong International Music Festival: Photos from the Fringe
Not a fan of classical music, I eschewed the main event and braved the torrential downpours to fire off a few shots at the Fringe Festival, getting to photograph the band of a couple of good friends of mine in the process.
Introducing the Blog: The Interview that Never Was
So the blog has been up-and-running for a few posts, yet in the rush to get content out at a rate of knots (think complicated sailing knots that only boy scouts could understand), it would appear I that I’ve neglected to cover what we’re all about here at The Lost Lens.
The Forgotten Gems of Jeonju ~ Destination Guide
The city’s attraction is obvious enough from even the most cursory of guidebook glances. That said, caring to delve a little deeper will uncover all manner of forgotten gems. Read on to discover what’s not to be missed.
