The way I’ll never move on from this iconic outfit.
He is saur gorgeous, I don’t have any words to describe it.
Views from hotel rooms and rooftops in Korea, shot repeatedly at various times throughout my stay. (Some of them were easier to align – I didn’t use a tripod or anything else to achieve registration – than others, a few wouldn’t work at all. I’m sure there’s tools for doing this!)
