Yesterday I wrote about the amazing kalbi dinner I’d had in South Korea two years ago to the day. Today, I’ll once again go back two years to the next evening when I participated in the Beomeosa Templestay program.
In the morning we had traveled to Busan and, after spending a couple of hours exploring [...]

Today has been a catch-up day. I’ve prepped over 500 images from recent trips for submitting to my stock agency and compiled over 1200 photos to send in to the US Copyright office as part of my ongoing effort to keep my registrations current.

We try and get together every now and then to make some photos and drink a beer or two. This past Saturday, we met at Doug Stremel’s office to shoot some lifestyle and fashion portraits. [...]

I returned from Canada late Saturday night and jumped right back into work on Sunday. Today I finally had enough of a breather to start the post-processing from this trip.
