What's the story behind the “Speed II” NFT? 

My challenge on this night was to capture the speed of our fast-paced world and frame it. The silence at this railroad crossing was abruptly broken when level crossing signals began to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles that the Korea Train eXpress (KTX) was near.  The crossing guard appears to be frozen in time, as he marvels at the speed in which the KTX - Korea's Bullet Train - is crossing before his eyes.

Introduction: My mantra is to capture Earth’s beauty with my lens and to display it to all humankind.

The Korea Point of View (K-POV) Collection – as the name implies – encompasses photographs that I have taken while living in the “Land of the Morning Calm”. I’m ecstatic to share different perspectives of Korea with my audience from my camera’s lens POV when I took each photo. I hope that my I audience enjoys the end results of my adventures in Korea as much as I do.  

What's the Story Behind the “Migraine” NFT?

I came across this statue as I walked outside of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, Korea. “Migraine” is the pseudo-name that popped into my mind the moment that I saw it.

What's the story behind “Reflection”? 

In early 2023, I engaged in some serious soul searching about my way-forward as an artist. I had contemplated, do I stay the course that I’m on now or build on my photography skillset by developing a special niche – infrared photography - to compliment my artistic toolbox? 

Adopting the latter would require me to invest in my future. Uncertainty entered the picture. Do I have the financial resources to invest in new photography equipment, etc.?  Was I willing to incur the financial cost without knowing the outcome? In the end, I had determined investing in a dedicated infrared camera - a brand new Canon R6 Mark II mirrorless camera that I had converted to a full-spectrum camera – was the right approach for me.  

The Republic of Korea is the perfect environment to commence my transformative infrared photography journey.  I invite you to join me on my journey.

What's the story behind Breaktime?

On this eerie night, this motorcyclist parked his motorcycle near the railroad crossing, walked up next to it, stopped and stayed nearby for quite some time. In so doing, he set the perfect scene for me to frame it and snap this photo. It’s an afterthought to me now but unanswered questions still linger in my mind. 

Why did he not travel through the crossing and proceed to his destination?  Why did he choose to stop at this railroad crossing? Was it his breaktime? Why was he so pre-occupied with his cellphone? My questions will go unanswered.
