Korean War Memorial Tote Bag

The Korean War was sparked when Kim Il-sung convinced Joseph Stalin that with the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 1949, South Korea would be easy to take by force; he even claimed that the South Koreans would welcome the North in reunification of Korea. Based on Kim Il-sung�s argument, along with the fact that the Soviets had already detonated their first nuclear bomb and were successfully decrypting communications from the United States to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Joseph Stalin gave Kim Il-sung his approval of a war; after all, the U.S. had not interfered with the Communist victory in China.
After a year of building up the military of North Korea, Kim Il-sung began the Korean War with a strike at dawn on Sunday 25 June 1950. North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel and began their advance. Within three days, South Korean forces blew their bridge over the Han river near Seoul regardless of that fact that there were hundreds of refugees still attempting to escape the war.

By David Morefield I started photography for a couple of reason, the main reason was for the pure enjoyment of creating something beautiful. In my past, I have seen some of the greatest horrors known to man, so finding other images to place into my head has been therapeutic. I call it "Image Replacement Therapy." Over time, I had some people ask about buying prints, so I started posting prints for sale and this is how Fluffyshotme Photography was born. I prefer to go out and capture whatever strikes me in the moment and if others like it, then great. My photography is more for me to appreciate, but if others can get enjoyment out of my work, then that brings me a sense of fulfillment. I am interested in travelling the world....
