I've been doing a lot of thinking lately
and there are so many things I want to
do for this channel for you but also for
myself as a photographer because I want
to improve my skills but there is kind
of a barrier in terms of finances and
there's only so much I can do on this
channel without selling out you know
like I'm not going to take any
sponsorships from corporations I'm not
gonna do any of Philly links I'm not
going to try and sell gear and stuff
here like all the other channels but
I've been thinking about opening a
patreon and I put some poles online like
on Twitter and Instagram here on YouTube
and you know all the content that I do
is pretty much going to stay as it is
like I'm all my tutorials are going to
be here on YouTube
all my wallpapers still free pretty much
everything is going to stay the same but
for a patreon I've been thinking like
what can I do to make people sign up or
to be happy because I'm not an expensive
person I don't need a lot I just need
enough to cover the film cost or pay for
the taxis and subways that I take you
know so I've been thinking of doing
things like feedback for people's photos
of course I don't consider myself
someone that's like specialized in that
kind of thing like you know I believe I
believe like you should look up to like
photography teachers for this kind of
stuff but I can give my two cents you
know at least it's what I can do I can
do kind of behind the scenes kind of
stuff like BTS things I can talk about
my future plans like what kind of
vintage lenses I'm looking to get
looking forward to getting next so these
are just some ideas because as you guys
know I am very anti corporate like I
don't want to take sponsorships from
companies but at the same time I'm not
blind to the realities that are creating
content is not cheap it's actually quite
kind of pricey actually every time I
make a video where I go out and shoot
I'm actually losing money
the subway costs and all that and when I
make film videos film costs and all that
when I buy the YouTube equipment I don't
even think I've made that money back you
know like I don't make much money from
YouTube itself but you know it's fine we
do it because we love it so if you're
interested in becoming a patron of mine
I'm going to put the link down below I'm
not gonna go around spamming it like I
don't like that kind of thing it's just
gonna be there for whoever is interested
like this there's gonna be like the only
time I ever mention it yeah video has
been a little slow these days I'm sorry
but you know after my trip it was
straight to work and it's just been
working day after day after day it's
really hard but you know I like to keep
busy so stuff is coming up this is the
only time I'm going to talk about this
patreon stuff because to be honest it
kind of hurts my pride a little bit but
what can you do anyways see you around
