So, what I really need to write about is my trip to Boryeong for Mud Fest, and the wild time that is cosmetic mud, torrential rain and comedic umbrellas. But for now this post is a palatable excuse. I've been working on organizing a fundraiser at a club here in Daegu, S. Korea, for my volunteer trip to Nepal this coming November. (See poster image above, thanks to a good friend here).

Some personal notes:

I'm exceedingly excited. I've never had a fundraiser before, and never done anything important enough to warrant one. It feels amazing, nerve wracking and all together too adult for my tastes. But, I guess I will be 28 in a few short days, so it's about time I at least feel adult, whist I go about doing adult things and making adult decisions.

In conjunction with the fundraiser is a photography show, something else that I never thought I would do. As it so happens, I take some pictures, and as it so happens, it seems that some of them are show worthy enough to perhaps raise some money for the project. Now, it's not like it's a *real* show, like I had to submit my photos, or even have the space for more than an evening, but I will be honored to have people purchase my photos for themselves or their families, and even more honored that it is for such a worthy cause. I am proud of the photos I've taken, and impressed with the way they are looking all matted in their little photo pockets.
Who knows? Perhaps this is the beginning of what may become being a more serious photographer? (...maybe you should buy prints now before I am world famous...wink wink).

So, this is why I haven't written about Mud fest, or anything else for that matter. After August 8th is finished however, I make a solemn web blog vow to share the hilarity that was the festival, one poorly remembered event at a time.
