On the Road

What a hectic week it’s been, and it’s not over yet.

Most of the week has been taken up by packing and moving around furniture and boxes. I’m aching from head to toe. In two days time, we’ll be leaving our apartment, and then visiting friends around Seoul, before finally flying out to Sydney on December 9.

I hope to return to Seoul, next year, to continue my work here, and to exhibit here again. I also plan to exhibit images of Seoul in Sydney and Melbourne, in the near future.

From tomorrow morning, the Internet gets disconnected, and then it’s officially ‘on the road’ time. Aside from some wireless hotspots, I’ll be staying offline and preparing some images for the photoblog in advance.

I’m beginning to get a taste of how dependant my work and practice has become on access to the Internet. On one hand, the ability to share work very readily, has been a motivating factor to make more; however, on the other hand, once access becomes limited, one’s world feels like it’s upside-down.

    It’s too bad that I found your site the day you left Seoul. I’ve been looking for other photographers in Seoul and so far haven’t been too successful. I do enjoy your work though. Very nice. I hope in the future I’ll put some pictures on the net, but for now I just take them.

    Cheers
    Nate

    Its interesting how we as a ganeration of photographers are so gilded by our toys, just as generations before were gilded by theirs, however, ours is so dependant on external sources. Reliance brings its own strenghts and weaknesses.
    I see that there is still a very strong core group of people who have completely bucked the digital trend and have returned to traditional photography. I see at least sixty percent of the custom in my store have both digital and film and are still using film as their main source of image making… I also see the difference between the consumer hardware of only twelve years ago and the consumer hardware of now in terms of the build quality, and I find it quite disturbing the prices asked for the utter rubbish that is on the market today.

    Thanks for your comments, Nate and Joe. Been hard to update things. Harder than I thought, but keep in touch. Nate, I’d really like to see some of your stuff from Seoul. I’m missing it there already! Take care. Js.
