Just found this Korean blogger who goes around snapping photos of, well, colonial-era buildings, old churches and other cultural properties you’re unlikely to read about in the guide books.
This man is my hero.
Two thumbs up. Way up!!!
As a bit of an intro, here’s his photos from the leper colony on Sorok-do, which was introduced recently in the New York Times.

Robert,
For the record, I think your pictures are way better. Just out of curiosity. Do you enhance the contrast w/Photoshop? Just ask’in…
Not a whole lot. I do an “auto levels” and an “unsharp mask.”
But can this guy make a hanbok look so good?
Robert, try playing with your mid-range values inside “levels” (control + L) in Photoshop. That can help clear up shots that are a bit muddy-looking in darker areas. You can also select darker areas with the magic wand and adjust only those areas too.
You are still getting excellent results!
So there are two of you! I suppose just for the sake of symmetry, he (or she?) wears western clothes when out taking pictures, whereas your eminence wears a hanbok?
