I had the pleasure of lunch today with Korean novelist, poet, and professor of literature Kil-Un Hyun. Mr. Hyun is doing the text for my upcoming book on the Haenyeo of Jeju Island where he was born and lived for 46 years. Hyun was kind enough to come by and look at my photographs today …
So this is it… My burn week ends tonight. I thought about how to close this “journey”… I took pictures of the most important people in my life, the places that I’ve seen and in which I live everyday… So I thought about doing a self portrait as the end of this circle, to show …

I know her so well and yet I always learn something new about her… And about me.It’s been a long time since …
No sooner had the group of Haenyeo I was diving with entered the water when one of them snatched an octopus from its hiding place under a rock. This bilaterally symmetric mollusk sure isn’t the most beautiful creature on our planet, but at $25. per and the possibility of getting 5-10 in a day along …
Women shellfish divers do last minute prep on a rocky ledge just before entering the frigid waters on Jeju Island, S Korea. I went in first so I could see things from their view. I am a sandy beach guy and rocky water entries extremely difficult in strong currents. However, It’s just another …
