Yeah, I saw those photos a couple of weeks ago. I really would like to get this guy’s books, he is a genius photographer. He has a way of upsetting the conventional strategies for framing images, in a way that gives striking results. Instead of just seeing the images, it kind of makes you think about what’s going on inside the picture. Beautiful, beautiful work.
Sorry to comment twice. Following is a link to the International Photography Centre video on the photographer.

Those two kids in the photo? They are now old halmony and halaboji that most expats in Korea hate.
