My name is Joseph Bengivenni but I usually go by the moniker Ox Herder online.
I’m a Canadian artist, photographer, and writer who has been living in Korea since 2005. During that time, I developed a deep appreciation for Korea’s mountains and the ‘Sansa’, Mountain Temples, found within them.

I consider it my life-long pilgrimage. Follow me here or @oxherder.photography on Instagram as I continue this ongoing journey.
