PERVERT ALERT PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION


I’d like to officially kick off the ‘Pervert Alert’ Photography Competition. It isn’t your National Geographic photography contest. Although some of those tribal guys in loincloths looked like major pervs to me. I am seeing who can get the best picture of this wacked out individual:


Captured on Drake's iPhone


Standing in the stairwell for a prolonged period of time
Apparently, the door had the word 'SEX' written on it.
So, he stared at it like a retarded robot.
(*By the way Koreans NEVER use both doors in the stairwell until he stood in the way.)




Who is he? Unofficially, I have named him Mr. Mii Chin (equivalent of insultingly psychotic in Korean). To everyone who commutes around Bupyeong he is that crazy, scary guy who lurks in the underground shopping mall and subway. Many of you have encountered this rare urban beast. Every time I see him he is making some weird, wild gesture from wide, crazy eyes to looking a woman up and down then laughing.  The wild stories about him abound. But I don’t want just a story. I want the best photo. Because we all know a picture speaks a thousand words.

So, let me lay down the ground rules.

Rule #1 THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: This is relatively dangerous because you don’t know this guy. Most of you cannot speak his language. Be careful. Let me stress this one more time. BE CAREFUL. You don’t have to be up in this guy’s face to take a photo. Capture him in his natural cave-like urban habitat while he is going about his daily business creeping out other people.

RULE #2  Do not openly antagonize this guy. If something happens because you antagonized him and you get hurt, arrested, or deported (if you hit him you could be), you will ruin the fun of this competition. Once again please be safe.

RULE#3 You cannot ask him in Korean to take a photo with you. This is cheating.
           
1a. If he does corner you, you are allowed to use Korean to escape. But I suggest the oldest trick in the book the wide eyes and point in a different direction. That move spans all language boundaries. And it’s worked for me once on another crazy Panda guy in Korea.

Rule #4 If you win I’ll buy you a beer or seven. This competition is meant to be fun. But who isn’t going to want a beer after observing a photo of this guy?!

Rule #5 Competition ends December 31st. That is plenty of time to find this guy. Dateline is up for negotiation though.

RULE #6 BEST PHOTO WINS!

Judges
Please remember these guidelines when voting:
                      
It’s ok to snipe pictures of him from a hundred or so yards away.

I will be getting as close as possible to this guy to take interesting photos. I will get a photo of me standing next to him.

If he/she gets a photo with him, props to that person. That is my goal. But the main goal is to catch him in action.



The best photo of Mr. Mii Chin in action will be voted for online. I am going to post the best photos on here. I want all my readers (what is there like 12 of you?) to vote for the best photo in the weeks to come. I will post them week by week then altogether the last week of the deadline.



Notes:

If you aren’t in for this we can change the competition to an urban photography contest and you can take pictures of whatever you want in the city.
