The Art of Ed Lee v2.1

Recent trip to Tokyo

  Under friend's recommendation along with others I decided to check  out Tsukiji (sP?) Fish Market in Tokyo. I wasn' disappointed - I spent a whole day taking pictures in the area, I even went back in the evening around 10pm and stayed until 2am taking pictures. All together I shot around 1,500 pictures in the area with another pictures in Tokyo and Akihabara area. And during the whole time only one person told me not to take picture..think he thought I was taking picture of him. Anyway, they just went about their business and didn't even care.

Does anyone else see "art" in these other than myself? Every corner is so kick-ass. And the lighting was perfect - couldn't ask for better light.

walk around Joo-wang san

 
  We'd had to drive up and hike rest of the way atop of this mountain to come to this area. It's a small lake that's too big to be called a pond and too small to be called a lake - something in the middle. There were half-dozen interesting trees around it and the star of the show is the tree in the water near one area of the lake partially submerged. A good area to take pix, especially in Fall with brilliant colored leaves. Hand-held shots even though I brought a tripod - it was too hazardous to set up because there were many peeps and children. Used Nikon D700/17-35mm/70-200mm VR. No post.

GDCA Master Class demo

Class demo - one hour. I cheated here and there though to quickly put in cloud and mountain from snap shots and other concept art of mine. It was haphazardly put together but hopefully it shows some process.

Korea - in the morning

  The following morning - looking out from 18th floor officetel. D700/70-200mm VR.

Venice Beach - walk-around

  Shot with D700/70-200mm VR, straight from card.

Busan International Environment Art Festival 2006

  Shot with little Casio Elixim - I must say my art didn't really fit the overall mood as I've seen some great art that reflect environment - art from around Asia and the world. Think my stuff was the darkest and angst ones there. lol Another is I never got my stuff back - it went missing! TT

Last February

Shot with P&S Nikon P5000 - a great little compact if you want quality pictures with sharpness.

A month before I came back to the State side. Although I liked Korea - language was the biggest barrier. Coming back to the States was a welcome relief where the language was no problem. ^^The area is in Insadong where you can walk around and shop, it also has great little eateries and coffee/tea cafe's. If you can afford it they have exotic auto dealer in Apgujeong-dong, oh and they've switched the old license plates (green/white) to newer black/white like Japan.

Old China pix

  Su-Chou, China - about 1hour(?) northwest of Shanghai back in Aug. 2007. Taken with Nikon D200/18-200mm VR.
