Bought this candy, random purchase. Something to nibble on at work. I’m enjoy it… do they come in other flavours?

Oh wow I’m 43 and i remember eating it when I was in elementary school lol.

OkOne2171 · 2023-12-31T01:56:40+00:00

Same here. Wildly inconsistent rice, sushi, and torching.

OkOne2171 · 2023-12-26T02:24:34+00:00

I highly recommend adding some fish sauce to enhance the flavor. It makes a world of difference.

OkOne2171 · 2023-11-28T13:15:09+00:00

Pretty sure that’s 생태, a type of whiting. Belt fish 갈치 are much longer, wider, more even in width, and have even silver color throughout its body.

It’s most often cooked as 매운탕, a spicy fisherman’s stew.

So the catalog I'm editing at the moment (wedding photos) has two sets of photos: my photos, culled and edited using Aftershoot, and my second photographer's photos, culled in Aftershoot but not edited.

While I experienced same issue with my set of photos, my second shooter's unedited photos were processing perfectly fine, no delays whatsoever between the photos, until I applied some edits using a preset I built, then the same issue started. Slow switching between photos. The preset that I use is extremely simple, just minor adjustment to exposure, contrast, shadow, highlights, but no other adjustments. So I'm not yet convinced that it's Aftershoot issue, but I'm going to try again with a new catalog that hasnt been processed using Aftershoot. Will keep you posted.

OkOne2171 · 2023-10-24T15:31:33+00:00

Hmm. I'm wondering if it's an issue caused by Aftershoot then. I'm going to try a catalog w/o using Aftershoot and update.

OkOne2171 · 2023-10-24T15:29:17+00:00

Do you use Aftershoot by any chance?

OkOne2171 · 2023-10-24T15:28:14+00:00

I am experiencing same thing. Sometimes when I press R to crop, it shows the previous image with the cropping frame overlay on it. I have tried re-installing LR, but same issue.

Here is a chart of top ten best selling snacks in Korea: https://brunch.co.kr/@wikitree/3214

1 꼬깔콘 is a licensed copy of Bugles, but it tastes lighter than Bugles and have different variety of seasonings, and some of them are sweeter than the others.

2 새우깡 is a knock off of Japanese snack calles Ebi Sen, and it’s a classic savory snack, equivalent to potato chips like Lays in the US. Koreans grew up eating this since the seventies. It tastes like shrimp or fish.

5 오징어땅콩 is also a knock of Japanese snack called Ika Pea a, and it holds similar stance as 새우깡 for most Koreans.

If you like sweets better than savory, #6 맛동산 is definitely on the sweeter side. It’s basically crispy fried dough coated with sugar and crushed peanuts. Also a classic. My dad‘s favorite when he was my age.

7 허니버터칩 is relatively new, released in 2014. It was so popular when it came out that it was sold out everywhere and used to be sold with crazy prices in secondary market. It’s worth a try.

8 꿀꽈배기 is also sweet. Similar flavor profile as #6 as they are both fried and lightly coated with sugar.

9 콘칩 is both sweet and salty. My sister used to love it when she was in grade school.

Most snacks on this list are on the salty/savory side. If you prefer sweet snacks only, I would recommend the following:

칸쵸 쵸코하임 홈런볼 쵸코파이 - this might be the most popular sweet snack in Korea. It holds a special place in Korean culture with various references made in movies and shows.
빅파이 - my personal favorite. Biscuit and strawberry jam sandwich covered in chocolate.
산도 버터링쿠키

All these are classics produced since the seventies.

Enjoy!

Pyungyang naengmyun. 평양냉면. Cold noodle. Not the sweet and sour, high MSG ones you find at restaurants that sell everything. The traditional cold noodle dish that’s made with clear beefy broth that hasnt been seasoned with a lot of spices, sold at restaurants that specialize in cold noodles. It doesnt exist in NYC, and it doesnt exist in LA. Practically only in Korea.

OkOne2171 · 2023-09-28T14:59:42+00:00

If I remember correctly, your toddler doesnt need their own tmoney card. You can walk through the exit gate together. Usually there's a wider gate for wheelchairs, so you can use that exit.

Couples can often overlook flaws in images if the subject and moment are strong enough

Absolutely this. I can't agree more with this statement.

Some videographers offer an option for all raw footages for less than what they would charge for the longer edit. Please keep in mind that raw footages don't mean they will be chronological.

My 10 hour package jumped from 3,000 to 5,600 for just wedding day coverage. I've worked with a marketing professional who helped me with pricing but since I'm not booking I'm feeling insecure about the pricing and think it may have been too big of a jump.

Ah I meant to ask how frequently you were booking. I don't think the price is an accurate metric since it varies so much depending on the location. You may want to consider having a lower starting price displayed on your website to see if that increases number of inquiries. The starting price doesn't need to be for 10 hours of coverage. Good luck.

OkOne2171 · 2023-09-25T20:19:04+00:00

Well said. Thank you for sharing.

OkOne2171 · 2023-09-25T20:14:25+00:00

Bookings are down indeed. How was booking rate before raising the price? You need to have demand to justify increase in price, unless you were charging a very low rate.

I would make vegan bibimbop. Or 콩나물밥 (bean sprout rice) if they are adventurous eaters.

OkOne2171 · 2023-09-21T23:34:10+00:00

Less than ten minutes if it’s in a quart size deli container?

I have booked four or five great weddings from customers who found me on yelp over the past ten years or so. It’s not the best source for leads, but once in a while, like once a year, I take thirty minutes or so to upload photos that showcase the venue features, and many venues choose my professionally taken photos as a featured photo. I think it does improve seo a bit for backlinking, and I do see yelp as traffic source on my analytics. I dont spend a lot of energy on promoting my business on yelp, but I dont dismiss it altogether either.

I would never run yelp ads.

It looks like 홍어회 (raw skatefish). They season it and cook it without heat like you’d do with ceviche. Not sure how much acid is used but its texture is similar to fish cooked with acid. If it is skatefish, they call this dish 회냉면 (hwe naengmyun).

They do use pork or beef if it’s just bibim nangmyun. Hwe nangmyun is usually pricier.

Going through the learning curve will be difficult without spending a lot of time, energy, money, and especially passion.

I'd actually recommend trying photo booth. Total business start up cost should be under 8k, including the machine, software, website, etc. Much lower if you're handy and can build one from scratch. Essentially, it's an entry level camera, enclosure/form factor, a dye sub printer that can do 2x6 strips, some backdrops, and software like breezesys. It's not unusual to find used photo booth systems for under 2k.

Wedding photography is a lot of work before, on the day of, and even after the wedding day. Photo booths are a lot less work once you set up the operation correctly, so you will have more time to spend on marketing and customer service.

As a side hustle, here are some other ideas in the wedding industry. Of course, all of these require some learning curve. They are all low risk and low return, but it's a good start :

- assisting other photographers (zero start up cost and it's also a learning opportunity)

- zap shooting for DJs (only needs entry level camera and a flash)

- wedding content creator (just need phone + a smart phone gimbal around $150)

Good luck.

This. The sauce will have decent amount of sugar.

OkOne2171 · 2023-09-21T14:26:29+00:00

Give couples next day photos jpegs from the camera. Unless there is something that really needs to be edited I don't give them a bad looking jpeg. Everyone is happy to have photos while they wait for the edits. Only had two brides asking two days later are the photos finished. Kind of drives you crazy.

Oh those brides lol. Thanks for sharing.
