if you don't know what kimchi is i suggest you google it.
japanese food..I think. there are lots of japanese food in korea, but also a lot of fusion food and sometimes I am not sure what the origin is. when i first saw these dishes I thought they loooked kinda freaky, over the edge. it’s a handful of rice covered with an omelett. on top you can find a sausage, pork cutlet, chicken or hamburger. covered in lots of sauce, ketchup and mustard makes this a super healthy meal right? luckily there are some healthy kimchi on the table too.
rabbit. photo taken in Lund, Sweden about a year ago. I haven’t taken any super interesting photos lately so I’m just posting something old.
facehunter… gets facehunted. I met him when he was visiting seoul fashion week. I was unaware of his existence until one week before I met him. And I have come to the understanding that many people want his job. This photo was taken at the Mint Music Festival in Seoul. He was a bit dissapointed with the crowd though I think. There were mostly indie kids there who weren’t fashionable enough..or someting.. For you who does’nt know who this guy is just google him.
asphalt. oh and there is a dog there too. It was taking a nap on the street in Yeonhui-Dong, behind Yonsei. My friend says it’s there sometimes. Dogs are not extremely popular in Korea but people prefer the small ones I guess. They put them inside their sweaters or in their bag. Cats are more common but not many of them are very social.
photo shoot. Koreans taking photos on the beach in Haeundae during the film festival in Busan in October.
0 % fat. I took this shot sort of backstage after the closing runway show from designer Gee Choon-Hee at Seoul Fashion week. Miss Gee was posing with some models and it wasn’t very organized I guess. Lots of photographers were swarming around them though. I did not really stand in a good position and the light was bad but I managed to catch some of the models’ funny facial expressions.
06.08 AM on line 6. Most people look pretty expressionless or tired on the metro. Especially at this time of the day. But the man to the right has sort of a peaceful expression on his face. I wonder what music he listens to.
milk and cereal. since it has become colder in Seoul, especially during night, I can now store milk outside my window. In my dorm we do not really have a kitchen nor refrigirator so until recently I have eaten various things for breakfast. Sometimes just some bread with nothing on. Sometimes noodles. I have even skipped breakfast at times, which is horrible. It’s the most important meal of the day! But now I can enjoy a bowl of crispy cereal and that cold heavenly milk in the morning. I love Asian food, but when it comes to breakfast…I mean, it just feels wrong to eat noodles or rice for breakfast.
a finish boy in china. my friend juho is posing against a lovely wall in the drum tower district in beijing. this area with all its hutongs (kind of small traditional chinese houses) was really cozy.
funny monkey. OK, i know that I sometimes post quite dark images. But I’m just trying to capture reality, that’s all. But it’s time for a happy photo. This is also reality btw. I found these lovely creatures in Angkor Wat, Cambodia two years ago. The little baby monkey kept making these faces when he/she was looking at me. made my day.
