In honor of the new camera, the photo today is more recent. Samgakji station, Line 4, transfer to Line 6. Wish I would have taken this picture a little straighter, I think it would look pretty sweet all lined up. Hope you all have a lovely day!

Snap Happy

This weekend I finally bought what I’ve been lusting after for awhile… a DSLR camera. I bought the Canon 450d, and I got the Japanese version so it’s named ‘Kiss’, which is kind of cute. I’ve been walking around taking photos of everything since, even though I’m not too savvy on how to work the thing out of Auto mode. I think I will be devoting a lot of time now to getting better at it!

I’ve mostly been taking pictures of my dog, because while she may not be the most willing subject, she can’t really complain too much about it. I went to Namsan Tower today with Daniel and one of his friends and took way too many photos of the dog. With the shutter speed of the camera I’m able to get good photos of her for once! I can’t wait to try it out on my 13 other free subjects… my students!

I’m too tired to go through and rotate all my photos right now (I can’t figure out how to do it directly on wordpress, agh) so here’s a link to the facebook album I put up for my first 24 hours of dinking around with my camera.

New! Camera!

Fraser Island: Australia

Australian War Memorial: Canberra, Australia

On Becoming Less of a Slacker

I would like to post more, and more often. However, I am lazy. And a mad procrastinator. To try to make up for it, I’m going to introduce a new segment to the site! It will be…. *drumroll*

The (Almost) Daily Travel Photo!

Travel photos because I am too lazy to upload the thousands of photos I have for another page on the site and that (Almost) part is added because let’s be real, I can never be counted on to do something daily. But I will sure try! And perhaps even start a backlog for when I have lazy days!

To start off the fun, here’s a couple photos from my trip to Seoraksan this weekend. And perhaps I’ll go start working on that backlog….

rock piles for luck!

roof tiles with various messages in many languages!

See Ya, Seoul

…for a couple days, at least. I’m heading down to Seorak-san this weekend with my coworker Kaitlyn, Daniel and some of his fellow public school teachers. A weekend out of the smog (mostly) and into the mountains, I can’t wait!

Pictures coming on Monday, obviously. Have a lovely weekend!

(photo is of me and the child I will be stuffing into my suitcase when I leave Seoul for realsies. He is without rival my favorite student, even though they are all wonderful blahblahblah)
