saturday seoul

Spring has sprung in the land of the morning calm, spreading cherry blossoms, bicycles and revelers all over the city. After such an icy and frigid winter everyone is rejoicing at the warmer weather, shunning masks and yellow dust/radiation paranoia to just get outside. The Han has been filled with revelers. It’s nice to be peddling again.

Anyway, last week the songpa stompers were reunited for some explorations. It was good to meet up with friends after hibernating for the winter. We caroused Seoul, took in the river scene, and caught late night action in Hongdae. We all packed some 3200 super grainy Ilford for the night-time (looking forward to seeing the others) and I picked up a new holga during the day. What follows are some frames from that day. Hopefully more of such outings to come.

Once evening rolled around it was time to break out the high speed grain. I usually don’t take cameras out at night (for good reason) but spring was in the air, and the convergence of friends seemed a celebration worth documenting. We strolled Hongdae and caught awesome Busan rockers LHASA do their thing at SSAM SPACE.
