Q: What kind of the camera do you use? How about the Samsung camera?
A: Since the launch of the NX10, I have been highly interested in the mirrorless camera; I’m using it together with the NX5 and the NX100. Frankly, I had a more positive point of view on the Samsung camera after buying it than before while using it. I’m fully expecting the upcoming cameras from Samsung to be just as great now that Samsung is the only manufacturer directly producing the camera in Korea. I’m pleased to have personally experienced the development of Samsung as one of the Imageloger awardees.
Q: Among your own photos displayed on this wall, which one is your favorite?
A: I tried to take a lot of pictures and hand in them on time for this exhibition. The reason why I picked this picture is because I thought my picture had to bring a lot of joy. This place is located at Wooeumdo in Hwasung where it’s popular among photographers. I looked at my shadow on the sandy beach and I would have loved to have fun with my shadow and shells. This is why I took this shadowy self-portrait. Many viewers liked this, as do I.
Q: How many photos are displayed here?
A: There are three photos that are mine.
Q: What is your New Year’s resolution as an Imageloger?
A: I’m going to enjoy my life constantly using photography in the New Year. If Samsung releases its brand new camera, I’ll try to take high quality photos with that camera. Thank you!

The other winner, Mr. Moon, who is using the HMX E10 was praised about his individual camerawork recorded by the camera installed on the small ship. We asked him about why he recorded his video that way and he said, “I wanted to express the feeling of taking a boat or a car.” Mr. Han looked like he couldn’t hide his delightful feeling of winning the award. He hopes that Samsung doesn’t settle for status; rather, Samsung should strengthen its position in the international camera market.
Ten people from China came to the exhibition in order to celebrate this event together and we asked two of them about visiting Seoul again. One of them, Ms. Yao Yao, who uses the EX1 and the NX100, praised the Samsung camera for its awesome design, portable form, and high resolution. The people who participated in this event closely watched the photos displayed.

Q: When did you arrive here? How many times have you visited Korea?
A: Even if this is the second time I visited here, I’m still excited! I am especially happy to have come to here together with the newly added Imagelogers!
Q: What kind of the camera do you use? What object do you prefer?
A: I’m using the NX10 and the NX100 now. I like to take pictures of everything in my daily life. Thanks to the portable Samsung camera, I think it’s a really good camera because I can take photos at any time.
Q: You continue this activity in the next year! What’s your New Year’s resolution?
A: I’m going to recommend my friends to do this activity as the Samsung Imageloger. I’ll try to take better photographs. Thank you!

Recently, I’ve celebrated my birthday and I decided to bake some sweet muffins. This might sound a bit girlish, but in the end, who doesn’t love muffins? Surely, even the toughest men must have a weak spot for them. So, let’s get started!
In this short recipe blog post, I will help you make some raspberry and cottage cheese muffins.
270 g flour 175 g very fine sugar 1 teaspoon of baking powder a pinch of salt 2 eggs 4 teaspoons of sunflower oil 3 dl of skimmed milk 125 g skimmed cottage cheese 350 g fresh raspberries
If you have collected all of the above, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get started!
After you’ve finished, take an even bigger bowl and mix the remaining ingredients: the eggs, oil, milk and cheese. Use a hand mixer. I think it’s a good idea to add the cheese at the end and leave it a bit cluttered. This will result in nice cheesy bits in the muffins. After mixing these ingredients, add the mix of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to it. Mix everything again so you get a nice batter.
Now it’s time to divide the batter over your muffins tins. Fill them about 2/3 of the way full. You could also add those paper muffins shapes in the tin, but I chose not to use them since I didn’t have any!. You should have enough batter for about 12 to 16 muffins.
You can also use other berries like blueberries or strawberries in the recipe. Another tip for you: if you have a lot of berries in your batter, try not to have berries at the bottom of the muffin tin. This will give you a muffin with a moist berry at the bottom, it looks a bit wonky!
Take the muffin tin out (be careful!) and leave the muffins in for about 5 minutes. Next, take them out and let them rest on a wire rack to cool down. It’s a bit fiddly to take them out when you don’t use muffin papers.
