how much did u earn for doing this in korea?


i miss ur work too.......


For eSports, absolutely nothing in over two years. I can't be paid due to my visa so everything was voluntary. I work as a teacher mainly so that was my income to support my work in eSports.

If it's any consolation I will be covering MSL selection night on Thursday evening. I won't be doing OSL though (;_;) because it clashes with a concert I've aleady booked tickets to ages ago.


Damn... As an econ major I can't understand this one little issue...

WHY?

Why did you invest so much when the returns were minimal at best? Sure, you may get a serotnin kick now and then while doing what you love... but that is not sustainable with no $$ (which I imagine you know better than anyone @ TL...). Plus, I know how hard it is to live in Korea, even more so (I imagine, since I'm not a foreigner) for foreigners. Teaching was prob. a bitch too. I've done it once(private tutoring though) and it's a bore. 수고하셨습니다...

Cheers NeverGG... I hope for the best for you.


Because as I explained it's not possible for me to be employed by a Korean company due to my visa. I did it out of passion and having not much else in my life at the time. I'd have liked to have been paid considering eSports has cost me in excess of $4000 not including event transportation, hotels etc. However, it was never the priority for me.

I'm still remaining in Seoul and still teaching until at least January 2011 so we'll see how it goes and I'll try to make it to some of the important events in the Summer, but nothing near as much as I used to cover. I will of course go to finals - since I adore photographing them above everything else Thanks.


If you factor in the time you've invested in eSports... your costs are probably in excess of $20k...
I fervently cheer your genuine passion though.
It's something that's hard to come by these days...

When I first arrived on this site, your photos were one of the first glimpses I had into e-sports in korea. You allowed access to a foreign country for me and countless others. For that I am eternally grateful. I hope you rest and relax and enjoy yourself because you've more than earned it. I hope that some day you are paid for your incredible photographic talents.

I don't think a single person doesnt think she's earned a break. Doesn't stop us from being sad about it. :/

Thank you so much for everything you have done. Asking you to do anymore would be like asking Atlas if he could pick up the slack.

Thanks for the great work, it's surprising that almost two years have pasted already since you became a big contributer. Having a live reporter at the actual Finals is just awesome.
