Hi. If you haven’t already noticed, I added an enormous tip jar on the sidebar…as well as a link, to my Paypal donation site, at the bottom of each single post.

Legally, I cannot sell photos unless I make specific arrangements/agreements with the photographers I have worked with, which I have not, and I really am not in the mood to get sued… so for now you can “give and get” via good old fashioned tipping. That is as much as I will say about that. Give and you will receive…

Anyway, the reason I am really pushing the donation campaign is because it is what will help me (us) with our plans in regards to moving abroad. We are trying, rather unsuccesfully, to save so that we can get the hell out of this shithole but blogging and posting photos of myself for free seems to be getting us, er me, nowhere…literally, not even off the couch.

I have tinkered with the idea of  getting a standard 9-5 but the thought sickens me. Nothing screams TRAPPED AND SHATTERED DREAMS more than having to sell-out and work for some ungrateful POS.  I either belong in front of a camera, or in front of the laptop…writing about the fun I’ve had in front of  a camera.

I don’t want to be rich. I don’t need a car.  I just want to get the most out of every moment and I feel like so much of the best years I’ll ever have are being wasted here in this sad city, in a sad country, surrounded by its sadly stupid and ignorant occupants. GET ME OUTTA HERE!

Anypourmeadrinkonabeach,

I need a beach. I need to not be here. Oh shit, I need to get in the shower because I am meeting a photographer in 1 hour and I haven’t even begun to get ready.

Ok.. I have loads of photos that I will be posting later this evening. I have to go through about 900 of them. Fun fun!

xoxo
