One of the things that interests me most about Korea is it's flexibility. Economically, Korea is already a forced to be reckoned with, which is utterly intriguing when one remembers the almost innumerable tragedies that have befallen Korea throughout it's rich history. Today Korea (and its capital, Seoul) is a vibrant and prosperous place, modern and fast moving and yet in the face of this, is fiercely traditional and historically aware.
The purpose of this site is to illustrate this apparent disparity through photographs and look beyond the fast moving, modern Korea to glance at Korea's historic and cultural legacy. This culture-history can be found not only in the landscape that has shaped the people of Korea, but also in the legacies of people from other countries, in particular China and Japan, culminating in a cuture history endemic to the Korean Peninsula.

The upshot of these photographs is to portray their own theme of picturesque impressions of Korea's culture-history in the context of a rapidly developing nation.

Please enjoy my pictures, but I really don't want to see them on other sites, or used for commercial purposes, these are after all my Korea snaps, that I've put them here so you can see what Korea is like! Cheers. |
