“미안하는데 너무 추워요.”

Today was my first solo attempt at starting my portrait portfolio. I set off to the river by my apartment, where the light is good and it’s an open space. I know it’s 설날 today, but I guessed there would still be some people walking around. I was right, but I underestimated the cold. Badly.

I asked four separate people if they would mind posing for a photo and each of them said the same thing - “Sorry, but it’s too cold.” They were all very polite, but after the last rejection, I looked again and realized that everyone was walking with a purpose. Not one person was walking casually along the river like I see on most days. Everyone was trying to get somewhere warmer.

I’ll get them next time.
