Kiln Cookin’
I’m still shooting the travel series for Arirang. The rainiest summer in recorded history has slowed down filming somewhat. It was raining when I took this pic. This was in Icheon, which is famous for its pottery. A small town get together was going on at the traditional kiln. A man in traditional clothing stoked the hellfires that ran up an incline. The bottom opening fed oxygen to the network. It also was a convenient opening for grabbing a few red coals and tossing them between some bricks, throwing a grate on there and grilling some pork.
I love this country!
