For a short while after years of work and a couple phases in my work, eventually I started to get a small base of followers who were supporting my work and making monthly donations. I greatly appreciate those who did for that short while.
Sadly I am not sure how to contact them now, because I had some things I was dealing with suddenly and I kind of "fell off" the face of the Earth for a moment dealing with some personal things. I owe them an apology, and some work. I would hope they have cancelled the subscriptions by now because I don't even think I have access to the old account I was working through at the time.
Should you by chance ever find this page please know I absolutely LOVE all the support you gave and for believing in my work and helping to push me. It made my effort and work all the more worth it, while I already was enjoying what I did and created at the time, you gave me the extra push to really try, and it gave me something bigger to look forward to every month, selecting out photos to be printed, embarrassing the workers at the Target printing center with my shots haha, and getting to write out small personal notes and effects to be sent to you every month. I honestly truly enjoyed that, it took what I did to another level and I honestly miss it. Please know I am sorry, I had some things to deal with and I hope you understand, and if I am so lucky to be blessed by you once more, hopefully you will support me again even if it is not financially but at least by following and staying in contact. Otherwise I wish you the best in life and hope you are well. I truly mean that.
I do not like to "pretend" to like people, especially my supporters. I genuinely try to get to know my fan base and supporters a little and talk to them. I try to relate, and have conversations. I hate feeling fake. Plus I personally feel it takes my work to the next level and allows me to create content, especially when it is something such as taking photos, selecting some of the public content and some behind the scenes daily life to send to those who support with monthly donations or even one time, it makes it much more personal. I enjoy that. Almost like a pen pal type relationship.
One day I hope to reach this level again, and be able to do these kinds of things and then some with a tiered subscription level, and allowing customized subscription plans, because it makes me genuinely happy and gives me something to look forward to with my work. I already enjoy doing what I do just for fun and to see what others think but I also enjoy building those special relationships with people. Hopefully I can even offer more interesting things as well beyond just physical or digital copies of photos and a letter--maybe calendars and more. Who knows what the future may bring.
