Old Korea

My parents are here for a visit and it is so nice having them around. We went to a traditional folk village this week. It was so nice to be able to share out life here with Mum and Dad.

Of course no post is complete without one shot of my cuties.

Some more shots from my soccer afternoon. My friend's son is so gorgeous, I had to get some shots of him. Not so happy with the lighting in the last three, a little overexposed, but I love the interplay between Mum and son. Any CC greatly appreciated - I so want to improve.

Spring is almost here and the weather is getting warmer. Daddy's team had an after school soccer game, so most of the school came out to watch. I was suppose to shoot the game, but the by standers were much more interesting. These are some of the staff kids playing around the side of the oval. I had a successful afternoon. The light was good, but more importantly I am starting to understand the settings on my camera better. This may seem so simple but the last weeks I have been working on understanding my ISO and what setting to use where. Still so much more to learn.

Crazy Cowboys

We had some not so traditional looking cowboys at school today.

White Day

It is White Day tomorrow. Korean's celebrate Valentines Day or Red Day - girls give to boys. They have White Day - boys give to girls and Black Day. On Black Day, you need to eat black noodles if you got nothing on Red Day or White Day. You eat the noddles to bring you good luck for next year.

One of my students got me a bunch of flowers for Red Day. I have been so eagerly seeking something pretty to photograph, so flowers it is.

Out and About

The weather is finally starting to warm up so we have been wandering a bit more around our city. These are nothing special, just some shots to help me remember Korea before we go.

Long Absence

I have not posted here for nearly two weeks. I can at least say I am not lazy. My little Claudia had a severe kidney infection and spent 7 days in hospital on a drip. I am not going to bore you with all the details, but she has made a full recovery - Praise God. for a while there the doctors were talking about kidney damage and dialysis. Anyway, not much shot in the last dew weeks, but I did capture these shots in hospital.

This is set up. I asked her to smile - I know asking too much.

She met a little friend in hospital.

Just my toilet humor coming out! Well seven days in a hospital will make anything seem funny.

Our name tag. I find this funny too!

Number 1 is ours and only our last name.

The name below is the girl next to us - her first and last name.
