The Sartorialist - II


Hi hi sisters ...... As we all know, some people are a 'natural' in front of the camera; while others feel totally uneasy or even 'photophobic' (errr, I think I just invented a new word, haha :) Scott Schuman's pictures on everyday people are about self-expression and not perfection, so his readers can find their own inspiration. You will agree that some of the world's best photography are the ones that capture the subjects in their most 'natural' or 'unguarded' moments. Like this one, or at least I'd like to think so :


Thanks to suehan's effort, we are able to see these candid shots by Korean bloggers who have the chance to spot Yong Joon in the same city. When I pause to think : besides Yong Joon locking himself inside his house, how many 'unguarded' moments can this man really have? There seems to be always fans waiting at major hotspots, papparazzi jumping out from nowhere, cameras clicking at every angle, whether he is :

coming or going ....... getting ready for work .......
or actually working ........ enjoying his food ...... or enjoying his game.......socializing ........
or feeling anti-social ......
even when he is not up to it!

Now, that makes me feel a bit sad, so what really is the 'real' BYJ like in his 'natural' moment, without the awareness of a camera nearby? I'll come back and finish what I want to say tomorrow, ok? Please be patient with me.

Dear Jaime,
I think he realized that he is as a public figure and become great because of his fans. But he is a human too, who need privacy and the freedom for his live. and I'm sure there are fanatic fans that could be disturb him, watching him day by day (like us, xi xi xi). If I Imagine like that, It make me a little bit sad too. Mmm, but he looks always natural for me, he always as look as him. But, If you want to know him what really is the 'real' BYJ like in his 'natural' moment, I think when he slept or take shower???, ha ha ha.
I waiting for what will you say tomorrow....

see you.....Lenny in beautiful place
