I can understand you not wanting to share your finances, that's alright. Thank you for answering! This already cleared basically everything I was asking for anyways! I'll look into the e-book version then too! Keep doing what you're doing.

Hi Matthew! Thanks for the AMA. Big thank you for doing this! This is exactly what I'm planning to have a career in, as in photojournalism at conflict areas, I'm at the beginning of my 20's so plenty of time to plan, hopefully soon getting into journalism school but I'm a big fan of the way you just decided to hop right in and start doing it.

Because of the way you started, I'm definitely curious, how did you fund yourself and got into the business side of journalism? As I understood, you just flew in HK and started photographing, living off of your savings I presume. Have you sold any of your photos, and actually started making living out of this too? If so, did you just approach every media you can imagine and get your photos in there? Also, did you have any sort of actual accreditations, that perhaps let you through some gates not open for people otherwise?

This new book clearly seems to be doing well at least. I'll wait until the physical copy, but great work from what I can see!
