I took this shot for the particular alignment of all the lines and shapes found within the frames composition. This shot is meant not to simply focus our eye on the shapes found within the scene, but more importantly I had the intention of forcing the eye to perceive everyday common sights in new and specifically abstract way.

Suburban Bundang
The suburb of Bundang snakes its way through the small narrow mountain ranges that compress its expansion. Bundang is only about 15-20 blocks wide, and on either side of Bundang are mountains such as this. On good days when the smog is light, one is able to capture beautiful view of the valley being light up by the setting sun.

I took this photograph to create an abstract visualization for the very real loss of Canadian talent to the outside world. Far too often Canadians have been leaving behind their country to explore alternative employment options within other countries. Most often this need to "look elsewhere" stems from an overabundance of educated individuals combined with the lack of financially acceptable career options. It is a terrible thing to lose so many bright minds.

Gyeongbokgung Palace Seoul, South Korea
The
This is a view form inside the south gate. The south gate is the main gate into
This is a view of the entrance gate to the main inner palace. This is the third gate one encounters upon reaching the palace. The first gate is the one you’re just seen and then you enter a very large court yard, only to be greeted with another gate. Once you pass through this gate and make your way through the second inner court yard you are confronted with this gate! This is the third and final gate, it allows you to enter the inner court yard of the king’s throne. In this photo, you can see the stone paved road leading up to the main entrance way. That road has two levels, the tallest in the middle was reserved only for the king and no one else was allowed to walk on it. The lower was for government peoples and the final dirt is for everyone else.
Gyeongbokgung Palace Seoul, South Korea
This is a shot of the many roof tops that are found in the main centre palace area. It is a wonderful area to visit and is an area where only a hundred years ago I would never have been able to see, for I would not be of the importance required to access such a deep position within the palace. This is the area where the King and his Queen would live, and no one other than servants or guests of the king would be allowed inside. It is a beautiful place to explore.

This is a photo of the rear of the palace where one finds the rear garden. Beyond the inner wall is the rear garden, where ones a finds beautifully landscaped garden. That garden is just beyond this shot the left. This particular view provides nice detail of the intricate wood work put into the palaces buildings. Most of these buildings were rebuilt in the late 1800's, as the palace was burnt to the ground by the Japanese. However, they have been meticulously reconstructed to show the exacting details of the craftsmanship involved in the construction of the housing. It is a very impressive style of architecture that requires no nails or glues! The palace grounds are an amazing experience.
