New Year's Day in Daejeon

I was invited by Hyungsu's family to go to Daejeon, a city about 3 hours south of Seoul for New Year's Day. We got there in the middle of the night on January 1st, and ate and drank in a celebratory fashion. The next morning we woke up and ate and drank and played yut nori for most of the afternoon. It turns out I am pretty decent at yut nori, and out of 10 teams we my team made it to 3rd place. I won a bunch of soap and more toothpaste than I could use in a year!
My New Year's was awesome. JJang!!

Cross-Processed Seoul

Here is a roll of Ektachrome I cross-processed, meaning slide film (which makes a color positive instead of a negative) that I had processed like color negative film, in order to get a richer color. I think it worked pretty well.
Now if I could just figure out the stupid focus on my Leica AF-C1 35mm point-and-shoot. I have never had such a hard time focusing a camera! It's supposed to be a point-and-shoot! It has two focal lengths, 1:2.8/40 and 1:5.6/80. I am beginning to think that the apertures are just fixed. So I'm shooting in bright daylight with a 40mm 2.8 on a point-and-shoot -- not ideal!

B&W Snow in Seoul

Here are some pictures I took with my newly purchased, used Leica AF-C1. The forecast called for another 10cm of snow, but we only got about 3 more. We were all hoping for a thick ground cover. Well, it's supposed to get pretty cold, so I'm hoping that will bring more snow. JJang!!

Christmas Day in Seoul 2009

I spent Christmas morning with my Korean family. We went shopping in Dongdaemun Market and then ate awesome food. Then I met up with some friends in Hongdae and we drank our homesickness away. These pictures were taken with one of my Christmas presents -- a roll of Lomo high-saturation film, and a roll of 3200 iso Ilford b&w. JJang!!
