On my way from Boramae Station to Nambu Terminal (Seoul Art Centre )

True meaning of friendship

I really like this picture myself! Why? Because I sat in front of these two girls, and they where so lovely to each other. They talked so kindly — kind voices. They held each others hands. They seemed to be deeply in love with each other. The red haired girl was keeping the spirit up. The muslim(?) girl was so very tired. It was also intelligent talk inbetween the two of them. And I think they where so beautiful, too.

I took this picture stealthily! I used my digital camera’s ”extra” features to get this picture.


I had the camera strap around my neck so the camera was hanging on my stomach. Then I closed down all ”sounds” on the camera. I set the selfexposure on ten seconds. Then I used the rotating LCD-screen on the camera and turned it upwards so I could see both of the girls and the whole scene on the screen; I could see the framing without them seeing it! I set the camera for ISO 200(400?) because of a bit shaky conditions in the subway train. And I fired away...secretly!

I did not ask for permission to take their picture or anything. I said nothing. But it seemed like the red haired girl was suspecting something. She looked at the camera. But she said nothing. Maybe she didn’t suspect anything. She was so relaxed.


I left the train without saying anything.
And now I got a fine picture to show — a picture that speaks love — at least for me!
