Happy New Year xangatrons!
Per Ali’s request, I’ve chosen my favorites from 2005 [Photographer: Grace Kim] . . .
[above] My dear friend Annie is absolutely beautiful!
When I look at this image, I see simplicity and innocence. From seeing her face-to-face and seeing her in my images, she looks different to me.
Awe
He looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch model with clothes on – he’s also the younger brother of one of my closest friends Rachel.
I love keys – my mother was right when she told me that I’d regret it if I stopped playing the piano and violin.
David’s pedal case – I shot this after the Future Island Benefit Concert last year. Be on the lookout - David is coming out with an EP soon!
My twin – we share the same name Jinyoung Chung [my Korean name], we have the same exact jacket, we have similar styles of clothing, we were cheerleaders, we have our cartilage pierced in the same ear, we’re Pastor’s kids, the list goes on.
Pastor Joey – he is a TRUE man of God. The cool thing about this shot is that the light is in the shape of an angel – we noticed this after-the-fact.
Pastor Joey’s guitar that has helped lead countless numbers of people into freedom and worship. King’s Fools [which my hubby is a part of also] will be coming out with their first full-length album in the very near future.
So peaceful – she’s enjoying God’s presence.
My favorite wedding of all time! No huge production – just a simple, intimate, and charming wedding.
Two of my favorite women – Jane is in Korea and Sunny is in New York – both working towards the great careers ahead of them. Aside from my hubby, Jane is the most loyal person I know. And Sunny is one of the most solid people I know.
Revelling in God’s magnificent creation
Another one of my favorite women - I didn’t really have any older sisters that I could look up to while growing up because I was always the oldest one, but even though it was a little later in life that I met her, Jean has been that older sister for me. She is so loving, thoughtful, devoted, consistent, beautiful and is going to be famous in Hollywood one day.
I did this for one of my projects – I call it ‘Freedom’.
Model-esque
Sisterly love – I love these ladies as if they were my own sisters [pictured Haana & Haayoung].
Intricate details and texture

Great work Jinyoung! You learned so quickly and so well!
I enjoy reading your thoughts behind the photographs.
cool
great pictures, grace!!
awesomes.
you are good.
those are some beautiful pictures!
i especially like “two of my favorite women” and “love is in the air”
what a great way to reflect! always so good to see you.
must’ve been hard to choose with so many amazing photographs!!!
you should do this every year and then in ten years or so, compile it in a nice bound book! i think it would be interesting to see how your style and preferences change
good work grace
Hun’s comment is so funny… but I was actually thinkg the same thing.. “when did grace shoot this???”
: )
aww great picks!
Those are awesome pictures
ni~~ce! =) beautiful!
good job grace! the pictures look tiggidy tight.
Grace! All your pictures are amazing =) i love looking at the beautiful shots you take!!
Remind me to tell you later… but in brief, I received it as an answered prayer/gift from God! and it is to be featured in this coming March’s Power issue of Vogue Magazine.
impressive!
Lovely!!
Grace, I love you…. you are such a beautiful sister to me…. thank you for your confidence and faith in what the Lord has placed before me. It challenges me. God bless your talent in capturing moments that stand out – and in bringing all creative arts back to the creator of all!
Wow! You’re really developing to be a great photographer! What a way to use you’re talents and gifts. Keep on shooting!
i think the haayoung…freedom pic is awesome…you and hun have come a long way!!!
nice stuff, especially great for a first go round. my fav is the wedding shot of the bride with short hair, looking to her left. perhaps a little more cropping might bring her out a bit.
I love the pics! That one of Joey and the light shaped like an angel is amazing.
thanks for organizing 25% of my life, i dont know what i’d do without you.
holla!
i’ve been waiting expectantly for these shots 
that’s funny about the a&f model “with clothes” haha….and that one of dcho’s music case is awesome – i think that should be on a postcard or paraphernalia or something for all the davidchomusic groupies…that’s a GREAT observation about the light looking like an angel in p.joe’s pic!…ahh janie and sunny – “loyal” and “solid” 2 of the highest compliments one could ever get, in my opinion
…the model-esque one literally WOW’ed me this time, and the 1st time you posted it…i love the keys & p.joe’s guitar – i love the fact that it captures their wedding rings – such a small detail that makes a HUGE statement 
..
well done gracie
thanks for humoring me and posting them – i had a great time re-visiting the photos.
and hey, i heard you are/were sick?? how are you feeling now? better i hope!
you and your husband are very talented! I think I might be inspired to do something similar for my post! Thanks.
lovely pictures
