I am so there, a bag of ojing-oh (squid), old school style!

Found via Loobylu

Tae Eun Yoo also has a lovely etsy shop where you can buy her prints for $25 and a website with her portfolio!

Most recent offering at 20x200 (I know, I'm such a tool but isn't this lovely!)...

(I don't know if you can tell but these are large format photos ... a rush of both detail and perspective at the same time, not to mention the colors! )

painted a mural on her dad's laundromat wall.

I've been a fan for years....

She's doing a group show March 18th-April 11th at:

Sloan Fine Art

with Caroline Hwang another favorite...

and Seonna Hong whose work I am looking forward to seeing... !

Jeong Mee Yoon's Pink & Blue project is currently on exhibition at CMA! It closes Feb. 8th so check it out!

Today's 20x200 edition features artist Juliane Eirich photography from her 1.5 years in Korea on an art grant (okay she was there to be with her Korean boyfriend also). This photo is from her series Korea Diary which is soon to be published as a book and I just think it's a perfect piece of happy in a grimly grey day...

Except the "Yale" part.

Photographer Hee Jin Kang's one of those one to watch types and her documentary work, esp the collection "Sandy's deli" makes me uncomfortable it is so close to home.

A lovely photographer based in Seoul. I'm drawn especially to the humor in her work and the immediate sense of accessibility. My husband met her in Santa Fe last year and learned she'd been a 'regular' housewife before pursuing photography. When asked if her husband appreciated her career she answered with a grin, "He change mind when I make money." Koreans are if anything a practical people...

A link to her online portfolio is here.
