Lens

I follow about 20-30 photography sites through Google Reader. I don’t know which site I saw this on, but you should really check out The New York Times new feature “Lens” Photography, Video and Visual Journalism. From the New York Times:

Lens is the photojournalism blog of The New York Times, presenting the finest and most interesting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it also seeks to highlight the best work of other newspapers, magazines and news and picture agencies; in print, in books, in galleries, in museums and on the Web. And it will draw on The Times’s own pictorial archive, numbering in the millions of images and going back to the early 20th century.

I am a news junkie and love the set-up of this page. It reminds me of The Boston Globe’s Big Picture series, but with more content. I hope that they update more frequently than the Big Picture. I have already added it to my Reader and can’t wait to see what they post.

Just one more shot that I took today. I took a couple more that I am going to process, but this is one of the better ones. I still wish I would have fixed the light on the right to get rid of the shadow. I am still trying to figure out how to use a two light system or rather any kind of light system.

JJ bought me this phone when my Shine phone crapped out on me.

Rainy Saturday = DIY Lightbox

Kimchi, originally uploaded by JR-Mississippi.

I woke up late today and decided that I wasn’t going to fight the rain or crowds in Seoul. I spent some time searching around Flickr looking at some awesome work.

I spent most of the afternoon making a little lightbox. I still can’t get the background the color that I would like, but am getting better. The Kimchi is from JJ’s mom. We have almost worked our way to the bottom of our supply, so we should be expecting a shipment from Jeju soon.

It seems like my mother has been reading my photography books!! She promised that she was going to get them in the mail this week. Maybe she will buy a camera and some good lenses. I need someone that I can borrow from!

I had a great interview tonight with a potential teacher. It is always funny when I find out that a potential employee has read my blog. It seems that I am one of the first blogs that pops up when you search for Dongtan, Korea or my school’s name

Tomorrow looks like it will be raining, so JJ and I will probably work on some visa/wedding stuff.
