Haeri and Haejoon are the names of the joint projects I work on with my wife. Haeri was born in April, 2012 and Haejoon two years later. Ever since, I have gratefully enjoyed witnessing and documenting their milestones, significant or not. To acknowledge, the inspiration and support from this source have been invaluable for the two projects.
(Note: Haejoon, the younger project, is sleeping in the sling; circa 2014)
