Kimyounggap Photo Gallery Dumoak In Jeju Island
There exit the unexpected great persons in history. The rainy day made us find the one of the great man at the gallery in the name of Dumoak.
For several month ago, one of my friend recommended to visit Kimyounggap Gallery.
So I suggested my mom and colleagues to go to that Photo gallery.
Stooping by photo gallery was not bad option in that rainy day.
Gallery was far from the caffe 901.
After one hour riding, we got to arrive at the gallery dumoak.
The photographer “Kimyounggap” was got to be famous after his death of Lou Gehrig disease.
He died in 2005 at the age of 48 years old.
He had took the photos until he died and made the gallery.
He didn’t get married and dedicated himself for the photo of Jeju island.
The photos he had took were estimated more than 200,000, mostly about the panoramic scenery of Mt. Hanra.
The name of gallery “Dumoak” is an old local name of Mt. Hanra.
When entering into the gallery, the garden was waiting for us. It was a beautiful garden.
Only with This garden it was worth for dropping by.
But more impressive things in the garden were lots of sculptures. Those soil sculptures suited this gallery.
It was banned to take the photos of inside of the gallery.
But the atmosphere of the garden looks like enough to introduce the galllery.
It was very nice place to take a rest for a while.
I bought his photo book and presented mom for her drawing.
Kimyounggap’s Dumoak gallery was the best place in this visit to Jeju, we are all satisfied with this gallery.
You can find the natural beauty of Jeju and have a contact with the soul of the great.
In the second picture trees make shelter which looks very stunning. The interesting fact is that this is natural.
It is nice to see the garden near the gallery with Kimyounggap works in it @slowwalker it is also sad that he died with an awful disease because he is an artist. Now although we can't photograph the things in the gallery, I know that they have their reasons. But it should be better if the garden has some tables or chairs around it so people could rest while admiring the beautiful surroundings at Dumoak.
there was a place to take a rest
How did he die @slowwalker? Just curious. He is so young and devoted his time in nature. It is seldom we can find a man like him.
interesting
It is so unfortunate that the one who was born to be in true love with the nature, with a mission to capture its sheer beauty and share with the world, merged back with the nature at such an early age. Sad!!!
Though, nature has its own way to make these unsung heroes famous/popular, by showcasing the creativity they had crafted with their hands, in its own unique way and make then immortal and in the memories of the admirers, forever & ever !
Thank you so much! @slowwalker for sharing this remarkably wonderful post! and those beautiful captures!!!
Best Regards!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
A lovely photo essay today, @slowwalker.
There is something mystical and inviting in a private garden, especially one filled with so many unique pieces of art.
The soil sculptures are perfectly suited to this place and every one tells a story.
It was sad to learn about the short life of this photographer, but the sculptures seem imbued with his spirit.
Almost every object d'art summoned up an aspect of the artist's personality, so in some way he lives on in beautiful natural setting, reminiscent of the island he loved.
A beautiful tour, my friend :)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
Even worse Lou Gehrig is ALS right? A very shitty and painful death. Poor man must have felt really bad unable to go outside into the nature and take pictures in his final years. I think this pained his heart the most about his autoimmune disease.
yes, Lou Gehrig is so painful not only the patients but also the families.
Buenas fotografías
다음 제주도 방문시에는 이곳 김영갑 갤러리를 꼭 방문해보고 싶어졌어요
폐교를 거닐면서 추억에 젖고 앙증맞은 조각들을 보며 산책하고 한 사람의 사진작가가 제주를 껴안고 살아온 얘기등
제주도는 살고 있는 사람은 모르겠지만 저같은 경우엔 정말 한달이든 1년이든 살다오고 싶은 곳이더군요
새로운 곳을 알게 되어 기뻐요^^!

제주 좋은 곳이지요
저도 한번 살아 보고 싶습니다
Hi. beautiful landscapes. It's a pity that you can not take pictures of the gallery. I think we have to change the rules. Showing works by advertising media or social networks would be splendid.
It happened to me these days in Maracay - Venezuela. They did not let me take pictures of the Plaza Bolívar that was restored and is a monument. Is prohibited.
Congratulations for living the experience of walking through the gardens and getting to know the gallery.
This jeju report it really exclusive to you @slowwalker and I like the way you present and upload them on your blog. This is commendable I hope the jeju people will recognize your hard work in projecting and promoting their culture and traditions to the world . Great boss. @slowwaker best of regards
Hahaha
