Private Life (Jung-Suk Goo)

My Private Life



I was born in Seoul as the only son among five children.
I was in a photo circle when I was a high school student and I still love taking photos, especially snap shots. I began my photographic life with Canon G-III, a range-finder style compact camera, that my dad presented me. After the college graduation I purchased Nikon FM-2, a fully manual SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, with some accessories and lenses. They certainly got the first position in my property list and I loved them so much. But someday a disaster happened. My younger sister lost them all! Was I sad ? Oh, you bet. My poor sister was so frightened that she couldn't tell me. After several days, she left a letter on my desk while I was sleeping. She asked if I could forgive her and wait until she earns enough money. Guess what I did to her. Your imagination maybe right.
I had to agonize for such a long time whether to buy another one or not. Finally I decided to buy another camera and purchased Contax 167MT, which I'm currently using. It consists of a Kyocera body and a Carl Zeiss T* lens . I truely love the sharpness of the legend Carl Zeiss, which is also used in Hasselblad, the best camera in the world.

The greatest thing in my life was and is and will be meeting Christ Jesus. Even though I went to a church for a moment when I was in an elementary school, I had been superficial about the christianity. When I was a junior-high, a friend of mine urged me to go to a chruch, so I began going to YoungNak Presbyterian Church. Rev. DongHo Kim was in charge of the high-school department of that church. His sermons were greatly impressive and I was so moved! He had such a heart for lost spirits. Sometimes he stopped preaching and wept... He is now serving as the the chief pastor of God's Will Soongeui Church. I still miss his sermons. When I was sophomore, I realized that I cannot live happily with any other except Christ Jesus and accepted Him as my Savior. He has fulfilled my life and never ever made me disappointed.

My marriage is also one of the greatest thing. My wife, Inseong, and I were working in same building. My wife was an engineer of LG Electronics and I of LG Semicon. We met each other by the introduction of a friend and got married on July 1, 1995 at YoungNak Presbiterian Church. I truely believe that she is my rib.

And finally my sons -- Timothy Gyoungwan and Philip Jinwan -- were born to us at 3:05pm on January 7, 1997 and 7:30am on July 12, 2004, respectively. You know what it likes raising kids -- sweet and sweat ^_^.
