I'm certain the guy who designed the new Post Office stole my design from one of my projects at school in 1987. I've been trying to find out who designed it. Yes, intersting intersection.

My Sony has a slow 10 second and a quick 2 second autotimer. I use the two second timer for most low-light or high speed shots to reduce blur. It takes away the jitter introduced by pushing the shutter button (or recovering from pushing the shutter button). The Sony also has a lot of the same special settings for night shots, etc, but the automatic timer helps a lot. I also use it almost every time for portraits. Great shots by the way.

When they saw me pointing my camera directly at them, they started running after me. I barely managed to get out of there with my gear, and never did get the shot.

Ah! I use to enjoyed a 100won "자판기 커피" at the cafeteria on top of the Shinsegae while looking at the BOK building, the tip of Namsan or the alley to MyungDong. If I remember correctly, Hwashin Dept. building had a very narrow stairway compare to Shinsegae’s wide marble stairway. Many thanks for great pictures, Robert! Superb!!

Personally, I agree with you. His lack of a yangban background may have played a big factor. That's what I think. Thank you once again :) thank you, Mr. Koehler.
