… for your art

i sometimes find interesting photos in korea … not as many as i would like to see, considering the number of koreans who carry expensive cameras. anyway, i came across a photographer who goes by the name of rapa nui. for those not in the know, rapa nui is the polynesian name for easter island, which is in the middle of the pacific ocean and belongs to chile.
i’m not sure where this shot was taken (i’ll go back to the korean page and find out where it was shot). however the image is a great photo and is the kind of photo i like taking … turning a photographer into the subject. i don’t know if he knew the photographer in the photo, but it’s clear that the subject was brave enough to risk the water in the reservoir, and his camera, to get those shots of the women enjoying their conversation.
the main reason why i like this shot, however, is because it makes me think about my own travels. i would probably never think to actually get into the water and take these women’s photo. it made me realise that during a trip like mine, i shouldn’t really waste the opportunity by not taking a few risks … i gotta get my feet wet!! lol
the original photo is from naver’s photo portal, here …
