I swear I didn’t plan this shot at all!
I was trying to take the picture of Haechi, the blue color animal symbol in this photo with that lady walking by…
but this ajusshi walked into my photo instead.
I was thinking…oh crap…..he ruined my photo…

so I took another one…without any pedestrian…couldn’t find any cool looking pedestrian after that…(><)

But when I got my film developed and saw the first photo!
I was so surprise on how it turned out!
The way he have a cigarette in his mouth and looking straight into my lens.

It’s kinda cool and candid!
LOVEEEEEEE the first shot so much!
No kidding! This is one of my favorite photos so far for this trip!

*

btw. Just for your information,
Haechi, generally known as Haetae (해태) is a lion-like creature with
horn that often appears in myths as a guardian against fire and disasters.

Seoul designated Haechi as its symbol in 2008.

Have a nice week ahead, everyone!
