When I first opened a Flickr account, I felt like I had started yet another online branch which stemmed from myself. The first couple of years, I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with it. I wasn't sure how large I wanted this branch to grow, and I also didn't have a clear direction as to what themes I wanted my Flickr page to progress in. Should I restrict it to pictures of my first real passion; bikes? Unfortunately, I am not involved in the bicycle community or business enough to maintain a consistent amount of posts.

That's when I realized, the most important thing to me is to post consistently, and organize my posts into sets. I realize that doing this, organizing photos into sets, is a very important part of photo processing and building an identity, giving my photos more of a purpose and meaning.

My name is Zack Fraser, and I am currently living in Daejeon, South Korea. I flew to Korea on Christmas day to live and teach English . After I arrived, I went through training in Seoul, and on New Years Eve, I left Seoul and drove to my final destination; Hwajeong in Goyang City, a satellite suburb full of high rise apartment buildings, schools and farm land. I spent my first year there, and felt a push to move out and find something more challenging and exciting. That's when I decided to move to Seoul.

I found a low-rise villa located in Gangnam, which is a downtown financial district. I got a job at a much more passionate institution called Paedea, and Paedea had a lot of new challenges. What I liked most about Paedea was that it was a very small company that only recently established itself in Seoul. Moving to Seoul was a very refreshing move, however it also led to a lot of vices, including gambling and drinking. That is why, after a year, I felt that in order to push myself and prevent myself from becoming stuck in a perpetual existence, I made the move 2 hours south to a city called Daejeon.

I am currently living in Daejeon self studying multiple subjects, including: Korean, Programming, Cycling, Photography, and Art. To make ends meet, I teach English to adults.

I enjoy the slower-paced environment in Daejeon, which can be very intense at times, but in Daejeon I can always be sure that a calm will return.
