Halla Mountain, Jeju Island, South Korea

This is a shot of the valley as you see it before you while you decent from Halla Mountain on the island of Jeju in South Korea. It is a beautiful place and one that is often surrounded by clouds. The cloud barrier that is visible had formed itself along the shore of the island. The scenery there is astounding.

Suburban South Korea

This photograph was taken one night on a walk home after a nice long day in Jung Ang Park. It was odd that we decided to take a different route home, but our new path led us to stumble on this wonderful sculpture that I think works beautifully as a humerous depiction of a modern atlas.
Here we have a night time view of a busy six lane highway that runs through my neck of the woods. There is a non stop flow of traffic on this road, no matter what time of day or night. I picked this location for the bus stop as it is a bustling arena of taxi cabs, and local and Seoul buses.
This photograph is just near my home and I have traveled this sidewalk many times! It walks you just past a nutty nightclub ( the verticle sign, the "Fana night club"). I was merely walking through this area when the idea struck me to have a mid air shot of someone jumping, so we quickly set-up and amused all the passers by. It was fun. I enjoy the life and energy that this particular shot lends us.


This was taken in Jung Ang Park in Sunae dong, Bundang, South Korea. Jung Ang is a beautiful park with an overabundance of wonderful places to sit and relax. It is a great place to go and forget that your surrounded by 30 story apartments, and a sometimes blisteringly hot city.

Bijarim Nutmeg Forest, Jeju Island, South Korea

This is a shot of some small bushes and leaves in the Bijarim Nutmeg Forest on the island of Jeju in South Korea. It is a beautiful place and there are many trees there that are 800 years old, some are even older.
