Why I don't like photographing people
May. 13th, 2019 08:37 pmNot that familiar with korean, but I think this picture puts it succinctly why I don't like to photograph people.
Street photography/ travel photography wise, I have often found it exploitative for people to take photos of people who are "interesting" to them. They basically treating the people they are taking photos of as a commodity. It's frankly arrogant and self centered to me, that they see someone else in a plight and the first thing they do is to surround them and take photos like they're a museum exhibit.
It's simply demeaning.
한 세계적 사진 대회에서 우승했다는 사진(왼쪽). 그리고 그 사진이 찍힌 방식(오른쪽). 이것이 내가 나를 ‘여행 사진가’라고 부르지 않는 이유이며, 많은 국내 여행 사진가들에 비판적인 이유다. 몰려다니며 동물원 구경하듯 사람을 찍어댄다. 피사체에 대한 배려없는 사진은 잔인한 폭력에 불과하다. pic.twitter.com/sUU8w0BuZw

Het ships in the year 2019
Jan. 28th, 2019 11:00 pmHad a sudden realization that my first het ships in years are from danmei (BL) novels. Oh, the irony.
I need more Jiang Yanli/ Jin ZiXuan content. And also more Yu Shi Huang/ Pei Ming from TGCF.
And speaking of TGCF, the words "天官赐福" are legitimately used in altar plaques, and it being near the Lunar New Year and all, people are changing their plaques and I'm noticing this phrase EVERYWHERE. I'm basically sweatytowelguy.jpg whenever I see it because the first thing that comes to my mind is the danmei novel.
do those deities have mind reading abilities. if so I'm sorry
