The War on Smog XI


The four opening photos in this clip here were all shot in the past week. They capture the eerie warmth South Korea is experiencing this fall; spring flowers blooming in late November because of global warming. Moreover, military activity significantly increases carbon emissions. Is there a connection between these two phenomena? Full video at YouTube: youtu.be/Mj1lJfbNJtU

Korean Market

 


 S. and I went to the Hadong Market today. It never seems to diminish in vitality, though I’m sure the nearby  supermarkets are indifferent to its fate. For more abt Hadong’s food traditions, Greening Korea: youtu.be/ex6K64LYVkc and Market Alive III: youtu.be/MayScGN7qNM

The Highly Illustrated Screenplay Narrative

  #novel #publishing #literature. 2/The recent PRH merger trial underlines  publishing is going through turmoil; the result in no small measure of declining fiction sales. My idea is a new form of graphic fiction should be established: the highly illustrated screenplay narrative.


#roman #édition #littérature.  2/ Le récent procès de fusion PRH souligne que l'édition est en pleine tourmente ;  le résultat dans une large mesure de la baisse des ventes de fiction.  Mon idée est qu'une nouvelle forme de fiction graphique devrait être établie : le scénario narratif très illustré.

Greening Korea— clip


#Korea #RuralAsia


Synopsis: A personal documentary about the agricultural life in Hadong-gun, the region of South Korea where my wife grew up. Filming was on the farm belonging to her family, and in the marketplace of the nearby town.


Green tea production is particularly prevalent in Hadong. But its farmers are under extreme economic pressure. More than this, Koreans’ habits in terms of favored beverages are changing, and the popularity of coffee is having a severely detrimental effect on green tea sales.


Kimchi, on the other hand, remains a staple of the Korean diet. And kimchi-making (kimchang) remains a traditional activity in most Korean households. Usually a group activity, after my wife’s mother’s death, my wife took this over duty solely.

PicGall 2


I occasionally put together minute-long video galleries of photos. This is a collection of shots taken here in Seoul on the a7iv using an FE Sony prime 50mm 1.8. It’s not the sharpest lens out there, but it’s very portable and has great character. More to follow.

The War on Smog



#climatechange #militarism 


We don’t want bad forces destroying our homelands. But is there a limit to what militaries can do to protect us? After all, untrammeled climate change also poses an existential threat…
