Aug, 12 2012 field notes

Aug, 12 2012 To identify a new subject who can replace an elderly man, I went to an apartment built nearly 40 years ago, one of the oldest apartments in Busan. It was located on the top of the hill overlooking a port and very old houses on the other side of the hill. I heard some tourists and photographers visited there possibly to witness the oldest building. Because of this reason, the residents almost kicked me out while I took a look at it. They maybe felt uncomfortable that strangers looked around their places. I also felt offensive about their behaviors. Anyway, I felt somewhat scared of the people, realizing it's not place I could photograph. But, I learned the underprivileged are everywhere in this city.
