I´ve been there already 3 times and it´s fantastic. I am 23 years old and I am also really interested on photography. I would like to make the next step and work as a photojournalist but it´s not that simple. If you ever want to meet up in Hong Kong (I will be there from August 7th till December), contact me through my website. http://www.mcandelaphoto.com Thanks, Miguel Hong Kong; great place to take pictures.

I'll be in Seoul for a few days in July if you want to out. -Matt: The SFX plus the red filter worked out nicely. You kind of get a good preview of what the image will look like to, since the red filter basically monochromes what you see... plus red. -Bbbora: hm, I actually like that idea a lot. It seems like in Irvine I could get a creepy soulless vibe from a lot of the houses around here. I'll work on it. -Thank you Risey!

Hey, I have a challenge for you. I'd love to see photographs of ordinary houses that are lived in. I suppose it'd be hard to get away with it without being accused of being a stalker, but abandoned houses do have such a delicious and somewhat creepy and melancholy mythos about them due to their very nature...but I'd think the real challenge would be to photograph something completely mundane like your everyday matchbox house and to give it the same feel. Your photos are as usual beautiful…your technique gets better all the time!

As for the meat, it isn't disgusting...just makes me hungry in fact. I love the HK photos. amazing and funny that they’d pose for you…perhaps they’re just used to tourist photographers?

They had some exotic meats on display, such as crocodile, deer, frog, etc., but the way it was butchered would come off as grotesque to Western eyes, I would imagine. I think there was a problem regarding tourists who would submit photos of the meat market to various meat-is-murder websites out of context...just for the shock value. I guess the shopkeepers resented youtube. In any case, that meat in your picture looks great. I love meat, always will...seen this butchered form of meat plenty of times growing up, nothing abnormal.

They were my source for fun and my blueprints for mayhem when I was a kid with nothing to do, forced to loiter wherever my dad deposited me (usually boring business buildings). There were plenty of abandoned mini-malls and plazas in Korea available for me to wander around in; felt like old times. I just found out about this website today (haven't checked xanga in a while), will explore! Oh man, spot on regarding the fascination with old buildings.
