Ki-duk Kim – director and writer
My mother suggested that I watch a couple of films directed by Ki-duk Kim. I haven’t yet seen any and I doubt that I will be able to find any here in Cyprus. But from his IMDB portfolio it looks like he deserves some attention.
Check these out:
- “Bin-jip” aka “3-Iron”
- “Samaria” aka “Samaritan Girl”
- “Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom” aka “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring”
- “Suchwiin bulmyeong” aka “Address Unknown”
- “Seom” aka “The Isle”
- “Paran daemun” aka “The Birdcage Inn”
- “Ag-o” aka “Crocodile”
All of these are rated 7.0 or above at IMDB.
Maxim halfsmiling
Maxim’s smiles are spontaneous and thus hard to catch. Here is one half of a smile that I manage to photograph today.

On the way to church
One of the most picturous subjects in Cyprus (and in Greece for that matter) are old ladies dressed all in black. They can usually be seen in the villages and/or on the way to/from church. Since I am a bit shy at photographing people (other than my friends and relatives), I’ve never even attempted to make a picture of the “black grandma”. Today I saw one on the street going to church while I was driving home from work. I decided to photograph her. I stopped the car, shot the picture, jumped in the car and went away in a hurry. The picture came out pretty much OK, but I have to calm myself down more next time.
