""An Jung-geun camera" to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule. I guess if it was Germans colonial whatever you'd get a Japanese camera to celebrate that. Actually Korean culture has sure hit me like a brick this year. I saw a Korean flick this week, rented it and have seen about one every month or so for about a year now. Their film industry has been cranking out several "hits" with international appeal and certainly on an international level which is amazing considering the competition and how big their industry would have to be. Or how little. I could go there, the landscape and all the rest (people) seen pretty nice to me. I'd heard that the Japanese idea of beauty is Korean. That the supermodels in Japan are mostly Koreans. Come to think of it I worked with a Korean model (American), Marla, back in the early 90's. I'm drawing a blank on other Asian models I'd worked with in the past. But think Asian beauty is right up there. Not dead yet. (me) Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
