Jung Myung Kim, a photographer who has dedicated over 40 years to capturing wildflowers in Korea, shares his story of pursuing his passion for capturing flowers. Kim finds meaning and happiness in reflecting on his body of work, and his desire to take more pictures keeps him going as he battles an illness.

Fotograf Jung Myung Kim, ki je več kot štirideset let posvetil ovekovečenju divjih cvetlic v Koreji, deli zgodbo o svoji življenjski strasti. Ob pogledu na ustvarjeni opus najde smisel in srečo, želja po novih fotografijah pa mu daje moč v boju z boleznijo.
