Acerca del libro
I am convinced that I was born with a green thumb and an eye. Both of these gifts of birth have been further honed over the years.
I was born and raised on a dairy farm in the beautiful hills of NE Iowa. My father knew the names of plants and trees and taught them to me. My mother had a huge vegetable garden that I spent many hours in. I was also very into house plants and flower beds around the house, some of which I purchased myself with my allowance.
When I was in sixth grade my parents gave me a Brownie Hawkeye camera and I never looked back.. My senior year in high school I was the yearbook editor, as well as college yearbook editor. From there I was a high school yearbook Adviser for nine years. My camera was always at my side. My wife and I lived in a five floor walk up apartment for 25 years in Seoul, Korea and at the most I had 250 house plants. We lived in Korea for thirty-four years. I traveled the countryside and I published a book - FAR-REACHING FRAGRANCE - Photographs of Korea. When we retired to Hawaii's Big Island the camera came with me and the images in this book were all taken in my garden.

At age twenty-four he left the corn fields of Iowa for the rice paddies of Korea. Those rice paddies fascinated and excited him with their ever-changing patterns and through them he learned, also, to love the Iowa corn fields he had left behind. He is a retired art and photography teacher from Seoul American High School in Yongsan, 8th U.S. Army, in Seoul, Korea. Mr. O'Brien's credits include Far-Reaching Fragrance - Photographs of Korea, a collection in coffee table book form of photographic insights into traditional Korea.
