What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

14 Hours of Tokyo Disney

Imagine 14 hours of Tokyo Disney. From 8AM to 10PM the world was Mickey Mouse, endless flavors of popcorn, and ride after ride. By five in the evening giant erupting volcanoes, human sized cartoon characters, and endless fun was reality.

It all reminded me of another place. A place where Mickey Mouse’s name is Kim, where there is no Coca Cola, and where pictures are usually not allowed. Yes most would say the two are nothing alike, but then again most couldn’t sit at the top of Splash Mountain and remember how similar it felt at peak of Mt. Geumgangsan.
