Meet Andreas Krampl, the executive chef of the Marriott here in Seoul whom I had the pleasure of photographing for 10 Magazine. Andreas has been one of my favorite people to photograph because he was tired of the same ol' portrait and up for something a little different.

Yes, that is a live lobster.

Apparently, if you rub their head, they fall asleep. Andreas swore that once he put a lobster in such a trance that he managed to stand it up on it's claws. That's one that I'll have to see to believe...


Unfortunately, our pet lobster look didn't win over 10 Mag. Here's the shot they printed.

Meet Olivier  and Milán  and Hopee and Gobi and Buddha and Helen.
Olivier  and Milán are two Frenchmen that have been traveling with their two dogs for about 8 months.
Hopee is the momma dog, a beautiful Akita and the daddy is Gobi, a really sweet husky. Buddha (named because he was born on Buddha's bday) is the little white guy and Helen (named after my friend) is the brown and white little girl. Both of them are a week old and have an crazy story of how they entered the world. It's not my story, so I'll let Helen tell it. Read it! Now! You will be crying laughing. 

Last Wednesday was the Korean Memorial day so we held a rooftop BBQ/sleep over. The whole family came over. Everyone slept on the roof while Hopee and the pups slept in my room. I couldn't help but sneak down and sleep with them. What can I say, I'm in love.  

P.S. They will be selling the puppies when they're a little bit older so if you're near Seoul and interested let me know!
