Well, it's usually the younger boys who are the most awkward. Horangi, Skyhigh, ZerO, Effort and BeSt were all pretty awkward to work with. Very polite, but kind of bemused/traumatised by my forthright style of 'direction.' I think the funniest eSports one was when my Mum inadvertantly terrorized BeSt. It was during a promotion where the boys had henna tattoos on their bodies. My Mum (during a photo shoot with BeSt) rolled up her sleeve to reveal her full length arm tattoo and asked him in English 'Your tattoo, is it real?' He went all O.O and insisted 'No! NO! It's for team!' My Mum was a real terror around the gamers <3 My own personal weird/funny experience was getting roped into shooting as an extra for Secret Garden along with my friend at the end of an FTIsland concert. We had no idea what we were doing, or why everyone screamed when this guy came into the concert hall. It turns out it was a super famous actor >.> | ||

I was wondering about how often do you attend matches or events these days, is it still slim to none? Also, how long have you been in korea? I've always wanted to know that. | ||

Also thanks for all the photos you've taken, and I still remember the time you keep up updated and amused with stories while waiting for power outage MSL to wrap up. Thanks for all you've done (from a hold lurker someone forgot about), and hope you feel better soon. | ||

It's like 32C (not at 1am...during the day :p) with 3247328932% humidity here in Washington DC. The air is so muggy it's like you're swimming. Nasty nasty. Today it wasn't so humid though, but the last couple days it was terrible. | ||

I like to wear those 100% polyester-type half-zip sweaters (i.e. north face etc., "therma-fit" nike), and I've found that after washing them several times, they completely lose their initial amazingly soft/smooth feeling (versus cotton clothes which don't seem to retain heat as well, yet last for much longer) | ||

It's been on my mind for years and I always feared that the ideals and goals of journalism are less nobler than once labeled in movies and in my notions of the early 60s to 80s (I'm pretty sure that sentence doesn't work). A common word I am hearing now is that journalists are more becoming infotainers. Yes, in a lot of ways I can agree with that statement. When I started working as a journalist I did it because I'd found something that I could really dedicate myself to. Something I was willing to make sacrifices for, and something I genuinely fell in love with at one point. What depressed me about my experience was seeing the robotic way certain journalists tackled the stories, and their lack of interest in really capturing a moment, or an emotion. Whether it was through the use of words, pictures or other media. I'm not really talking about my fellow eSports journalists, since a lot of their work still has that sense of personal passion. However, when it comes to a lot of the popular media reporting (especially things like Kpop) the photography is such low quality and the angles are so contrived that I wish more people could be brought in who feel a genuine sense of love for the things they are reporting. I think it's a case of needing to find a balance between romanticising certain topics, and provided relevant and interesting facts. Trashy journalism has its place, and can even be pretty amusing, but my favorite pieces are things like TL's final edits which show everyone a clear sense of the writer's knowledge and interest in the subjects they're trying to share with others. | ||

I've been keeping busy with figure-related things (and hanging out with my friend cgivisionary) on the weekends. I also feel quite awkward turning up after such a long absence. | ||

Hmmm, I guess I can imagine an awkward ZerO embarrassed about doing poses now... And wow, your mom sounds really sweet and endearing harahahahah. Lmfao, Secret Garden? I guess you were in a scene for Oska, the famous actor who plays a famous celebrity in the drama, ironically. You must have been quite confused that day, wow. And ah yes, thank you very much for all the great photos and contribution you've given to the BW community! I wasn't around when you were active, but I really enjoyed looking through your old pics in my free time. :D | ||
