I only am impressed for those who go through an extent to keep learning good things of life, like taking hobbies or gravitate other skills, rather than being those kinds of celebrities who run the tabloids and give gossip the bad reputation that it brings.

Celebrity or not, useful people are better than its counterpart.

Filming is a separate thing but I would like to say that Lee Dong Wook is very good at filming

I am a photographer and I don’t see anything wrong with anyone picking up a camera, professional or otherwise. It’s something wonderful and enjoyable. Art is subjective.

“YOU tell me how many are into ‘photography’– whether or not they realize their pictures suck. which most of the time, they do.”

Wellll, wanna be/amateurish photographers are way better than self-proclaimed artists who can only launch Photoshop and add a couple of tacky filters to pics other have taken -and often without either giving credit or asking permission- and voila, they whip up “art”. *snorts*

“this is referring more to the trend of stars becoming amateur photographers, publishing books and putting their work out for display. ”

As long as they deserve it…;)

I managed to check out more of Kim Dong Wan’s taken photographs, and I just have to add some more because I though they were really lovely.

“What I find surprising is that he isn’t publishing it like many others are.”

Maybe because he was more rational than other celebrities? Just like asianromance said, “it sucks for serious photographers now to see that that their hobby’s becoming a sort of trend among celebs.”

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with taking photography as a way to freely express one’s own thoughts silently without getting criticism directly.

Other than that, I especially like Kim Dong Wan’s photos. Wow, at the lighting and superb vibrant colours! He does sure have artistic integrity.

“whether or not they realize their pictures suck. which most of the time, they do.”

And, take it from Edison photography can sometimes get you in trouble!!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with photography. People take pictures for their blogs (which in itself is good for ego) anyway; ain’t no thang but a chicken wang!

I can see stars take up on photography as a way to release stress.
It’s interesting to see the world through their own perspective.

Dongwan has passion for photography . He should publish them one day.
