Keep At It

 

Utility Poles, Yongchon Village

Farmer's Shed, Yongchon Village

I've been to this village scores of times and I've probably posted these same scenes before. But every time is a little different, and on this morning I was there for some good light. Also, I think this is the best photo of the shed I've made so far because I stepped back and included the pothole. A nice bit of balance. And I rather like the shadow of the fence splitting the road. A complement to the cracks already splitting the pavement.

Man Passing Convenience Store

 

This was a throwaway photo for Instagram I made while sitting inside a convenience store one chilly morning. I usually delete Insta-Snaps from my phone after I post them, but I rather liked this one and kept it. I suppose it's the repeat of the foreground in the background, the decent composition, and the luck of having this cold-looking man pass by.

After I dumped all those photos in my previous post, I thought about quitting the blog again. I've been reading articles and watching videos about how most things on the Internet are made of throwaway information, like the pictures I post to Instagram. So I wonder if I can create something that is of use or interest to the future instead of just posting something that will get a glance and then a click-away. Something to think about.

Bits and Bobs

 I was very lazy about editing photographs for a while and they piled up in my Imports folder. This post is the final clearing of the backlog.

An alley not far from my apartment. This photo was made on a digital camera but I wanted to see what it would look like on film so I went back again later. Alas, the scooter driver must have found a new place to park. It's okay - this picture looks fine.

An alley near the Sokcho Market

As I was making this photo, a passing woman said that I shouldn't take a picture of the shop display. "I know," I said. "That's why I have to take the picture." She laughed. It was early in the morning and the shop hadn't opened yet. So, it's okay?

The owner of this 7-11 convenience store puts out food, water, a shelter, and boxes for the local stray cats. The cat is looking at a man who was annoying it by trying to rub it while it was eating.

Compose and wait

Another 7-11 animal. This dog's name is Happy. I don't know if animals can be happy, but this one is certainly contented.
