Having always been very shy, I'm drawn to photography because it offers an alternative way of speaking, one that is visual and wordless. My intuition as a photographer is to celebrate and emphasize this quietness, calling attention to ordinary scenes and objects that in silence possess more magic.
Right now, I'm living in the lovely city of Portland, Maine. Before moving here, I lived in Seoul for two years, and much of my photography is influenced by the time I spent there.
