My Ajusshi (My Mister)

At half one in the morning I finished watching the film-length final episode of My Ajusshi . It was worth staying up for. ( Re-write below after coming across a fan-site where a differing translation of just one word dramatically changes the whole dynamic of the characters going into the last scene. ) I am so glad they never ate live octopus (as hinted at in an earlier episode) and, even more importantly, the writers gave us an elegant ending. We've been through a lot with Park Dong-hoo and Lee Ji-an. O ver the last fortnight I feel like I've been living a second life in the evenings; in the offices, bars, homes and winding, narrow back streets of Seoul. And like upon finishing a good book, I expect I will be carrying these characters around with me for a long time to come. (A 2018 one season run of 16 episodes over 20 hours My Ajusshi picked up the South Korean Emmy-equivalent for best drama.)   

George Harrison: What Is Life: Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez

cardboard, paper and ink, words and pictures, hearts and bones

The original idea was to make a photography book which didn't actually have any photographs in it. At the last minute a few hundred snuck in, printed small, as both sub-text and page dressing.
