Actor and photographer Jo Min-ki is the type of man who loves to share his interests with others.
He prefers to travel alone to unfamiliar places and he often falls in love with the people he meets and scenery he sees.
The photos he brings home help him to share his travel adventures with others.
Jo's first camera was an old-fashioned classic, a non-digital shooter. It pales in comparison to some state-of-the-art equipment that many professional photographers use today, but this doesn't lessen his passion for his art.
