Eric Kim: Grandfather

http://erickimphotography.com/index.php?/black-and-white-street-photography/-grandfather/

I was really moved about the photo series by Eric Kim. These images went straight into my heart. Eric Kim has such a big courage and love for photography and with the photos of his grandfather I feel it’s so obvious how he has let photography to take over his life. And then it feels so natural that he shot his own grandfather’s funeral.

Beautiful, moving work.

Regarding Photography

People in Tibet think body is only a container, like a vase. When I take photo of a person, I never look at the vase. I want to see and feel what’s inside. It is my way to take photo, and I don’t think I could ever do it differently.
