Now available in the USA

Just a quick note: my latest photography publication Glance, put out by Mediabus in Seoul, is now available at Printed Matter in NYC. It is also available online via their website.

It is a bit more expensive than at the Book Fair, but I was shocked how cheap they were selling it for then. It really is printed beautifully and unfortunately not available anywhere else in the US at the moment! I'm also really touched by the synopsis though I'm not sure who wrote it..

Friends and lovers

"But nothing so delights the mind so much as fond and loyal friendship. What a blessing it is to have hearts that are ready and wiling to receive all your secrets in safety, with whom you are less afraid to share knowledge of something than keep it to yourself, whose conversation soothes your distress, whose advice helps you make up your mind, whose cheerfulness dissolves your sorrow, whose very appearance cheers you up!"

--Seneca in On The Shortness of Life

Zine Library

I love books and zines. One of the best feelings for me is having something you love in your hands. In other words: over the years I've accumulated a small collection of printed matter. I also recently spent a lot of time scanning and uploading it to my new Zine Library.

The library was inspired by a few things, but mostly I decided I wanted to have everything in one place to have with me always, no matter where I ended up in my life. Unburdening an unknown future move by taking advantage of the Internet. I'm not really a great collector so it gets a little idiosyncratic and/or personal. Most of the things in the collection were given to me by friends or acquired randomly—but I love them all. Here are a few of my favorites:


Ye Rin Mok, Mini-Zine, 2004






Raqs Media Collective, The Surface of Each Day: Questions for Cosmonauts, 2008






Jaakko Pallasvuo, Kievan Rus, 2009






Erik Winkowski, Still No Surprise (Jenny Holzer Ripoff), 2009




Dario Utreas (Editor), Skìmky 2: Fall Two Thousand And Eight, 2008






And then so many more..

I say come for the week
You can sleep in my bed
And then pass through my life like a dream through my head
