HNY ALL! I actually have no more photos to edit right now. You’re all up to date! I’ve been thinking for some time now to quit photography. There are a few reasons:
1) Since I’ve sold my house I’m no longer in a position where I need to shoot in order to live. Having said that I truly appreciate all of the financial support I’ve gotten from you, my Patrons, over all these years. It’s been an amazing ride!
2) I’m an Artist and have always needed to create, but I feel that design and photography have been a little too easy, almost too convenient. I’d love to try and get back into drawing and painting again. Time will tell!
3) Sadly there’s a stigma attached to shooting the female form and one that I’m ready to move away from. From people condemning me for shooting “pornography” to having my work constantly removed from Instagram (and worse yet my accounts banned or deleted).
I’m 100% sure I will still shoot from time to time, but it’s not going to be a job for me anymore going forwards. I’m still unsure about what to do with my Patreon and DeviantArt for now. Do I delete everything or do I keep them up as an archive of sorts so people can still pay for access? Needs more thought!
Either way I hope everyone had a great new years break, here’s to 2023!
