Jieun Choi. Photographer. 24. Hailing from Seoul. Running where the wind blows to find the next spot my soul lands.

"Yes! I came from Jeonju, South Korea! My Dad wasn’t too happy with me leaving…Much less to travel painting things," she said. A slight ping of guilt rang through her. Her smile fell for a moment. "But I suppose we have to leave sometime," she grinned.

[choi-jieun]

"Hey, my brother never even told me goodbye. We've all got to leave home behind once or twice." There were so many things she left behind, some things she wished she could repair. But what could she do? Her dreams were worth the world. "I'm here for myself, for my dreams. There are repercussions, certainly, but it's worth it, isn't it?"

Liz Johnson || Stay

When I look into your eyes, heaven’s real to me Safe in your arms I smile, I’ve never been so free Now I will let you go and as you walk away My heart will say

Stay here lover There is so much more I need to say My heart so troubled The world will turn and you’ll be far away

[peoplenaoh]

"Oh gosh! This place is beautiful! I want to paint so much," She said with a joyful smile. She pressed her palms together and closed her eyes. ‘I’m really here,’ she thought. She opened them again, and slightly squealed with excitement. 

[choi-jieun]

"It truly is special, isn't it? I traveled from far away to come here, you too?" Jieun knew the remarkable feeling of being so far from home. For all her regrets and doubts, being here was still truly a blessing.

Slow down, Lie down, Remember it's just you and me. Don't sell out, bow out, Remember how this used to be.

Stay here lover A storm is coming in from off the sea My heart's so troubled Cause I know exactly what you mean to me

I know you’ll chase your dreams, it’s what I want for you You have so much to see, I can’t hold on to you Here is where I must be and what can I do When all I’ve known is

When I look into your eyes, heaven’s real to me Safe in your arms I smile, I’ve never been so free Now I will let you go and as you walk away My heart will say

Stay here lover There is so much more I need to say My heart so troubled The world will turn and you’ll be far away

I shouldn't keep regretting the choices I made and getting caught up in these thoughts. But the silliest things are reminders. And I can't help but wonder what would be different if I just made the time. I guess I was too selfish.

The puppy..a favorite of many. I wouldn’t blame you for billing them all. There’s no reason for that to have to happen but here we are. It’s a time of crisis.

[choi-jieun]

They don't even have a right to protest. They forfeited that when they though "oh photography what a fun hobby" and forgot that there is an art to it. There's a reason I don't paint. Crisis indeed. 

At least there are fewer offenders here than in a big city.

[marissa-atwood-blog]

Can’t forget the hipsters standing in front of buildings with sunglasses on and a cup of tea from starbucks in hand. I fear for our future.

[choi-jieun]

Or the semi blurry family puppy. The future looks bleak, if I have to go back to school and land another profession then I am billing every one of them.

[marissa-atwood-blog]

What a waste…try finding one with nothing but pictures of girls making duck lips.

[choi-jieun]

Aish... giving us a bad name indeed. Why did that trend make it past webcams and camera phones? Real photographers are going to go extinct at this rate.

[marissa-atwood-blog]

Right, they’re like children with a brand new toy.

[choi-jieun]

A very expensive new toy. I met a girl with a brand new 60D and Sigma lens and every shot was either of a rose or a sunset. It was a waste. At least it wasn't a Leica.

[marissa-atwood-blog]

Sometimes I can’t even take myself seriously because of the way so many have butchered the meaning of being a photographer.

No, taking a picture of a field that looks like it belongs on a Windows computer wallpaper doesn’t mean anything.

[choi-jieun]

Either these people never studied or just never paid attention when they were. Honestly, you give someone a nice camera and they think every shot they take is a masterpiece.

"So this is how I look like when I look at Cha Eun Sang."

[auriewellington]

Ah, yeah, photographers always have to have the right subjects. I’ve modeled for a couple of studying photographers, and other things, but I never understood how they talked about posing and light and all that. But then I saw the pictures and I looked completely different then how I saw myself. It’s weird. 

I’ve never heard of him, but I’m sure he’s great. 

Yeah, maybe- I mean I hope so. 

[choi-jieun]

It's all about passion, that's what runs the world. You find something that drives you and you take the wheel and don't let go. 

Everyone has something, even just a passion for life can become something. 

[hayeonsoo]

[d-sutherland]

Agreed.

I really can’t even remember what I would do on my free time during college but it was probably not for television. You should take advantage of the free time you do have though. I do when I really can.

[choi-jieun]

I followed a career path that I love. Now I'm getting paid to shoot in the ways I want to so nearly all my free time goes to the trade and whatever doesn't, well I'll figure that out. Beautiful new country at my expense, I do plan to live it up.
