In the Spin
This photo was taken on September 16, 2007 using a canon 5d a 135mm f2 lens and a 1.4x teleconverter. Hwaseong haeggung suwon martial arts performance twin sword or Ssang gum style. This was my first published photo. It was published in Seoul travel and culture as a two page spread. It was also used as inspiration for another artist's collage. He spent 6 weeks taking his own photos are arranging them together to get a picture of this. Here is the link www.flickr.com/photos/derekwin/3768321345/ His website blog.naver.com/keons/110057894533
