About the photo:
I had only been in Seoul for about 4 days. My boyfriend and I were outside the entrance to the zoo. I was mesmerized by this guy! Despite all of the commotion all around him, he was playing a rhythm, a sort of meditation, on this cylindrical piece of wood. He would play a rhythm and then squat to the ground, onto his knees, bend forward, then slowly stand up, and repeat again. Nothing could distract him. I stood and watched him for what seemed like 10 minutes. When we came back past him, hours later, he was still following the same pattern that we had observed earlier in the day. Crying babies, screaming kids, families running all around him- but nothing was able to distract him from his flow. I locked into his rhythm and everything else simply faded away...

About me:
I've been in the photography field for over 10 years, working as a freelance artist, as well as a photography instructor and trainer. I've had a camera in my hand since about the age of 5! I enjoy experiencing new cultures, exciting situations and capturing moments to share with all! If you like this image you can visit my website at www.angelacerci.com to see more images from my travels around the world! I also teach photography classes at the VSP Photo Institute in Seoul. If you'd like more information about classes, you can contact the VSP Photo Institute at visualsponge@gmail.com for more info!
