A 2 Week Queue

The influx of new followers over the last several weeks has been straight up unbelievable. Thank you so much and a very warm welcome to all the newbies.

Acetylene Eyes–for the first time ever–is set to run without interruption for the next 2 weeks. (Practically that means there’s likely to be at least one new post a day through mid-March, at least–though I am hoping to keep in going for as long as possible.)

I’m going to take this opportunity to remind you that this blog as long as this project is active, it will always be 100% free. However, the work involved in curating it takes a lot of time–approximately twenty something hours each and every week.

So if you like what I’m doing here consider offering a bit of support via my Patreon. Literally, at the rate I’m currently growing, if 10% of my followers contributed a couple bucks a month, I could feasibly transition to making this my full time job in a years time and making my current boring ass full-time office job a part-time thing.

Also, you know, if more than 10% of y’all donated, who knows. I certainly have bigger and better plans out there. But for now, I’m paying for them out of my own pocket. Investing in the blog, if you will–in the hopes that going forward, enough people will consider the blog worth investing in so that it can become self-sufficient and then maybe with a little bit of patience and a whole lot of love, it can possible be a way of supporting myself while I transition into some sort of more creative full-time occupation.

Subtle (not subtle) reminder

Greetings all.

Several months back, I started a Patreon account to help facilitate this project.

I have zero intention of ever charging a penny to view/read posts. I do what I do out of love.

But it does take approximately 25 hours a week to keep things up and running ‘smoothly’.

Therefore, if you dig what Acetylene Eyes is doing, think about pledging a few bucks each month.

I know it sounds silly and I detest asking for money but if every follower pledged $3/month, Acetylene Eyes could become my day job. And that would free me to do more and better work here as well as allowing more time and resources to dedicate to my personal photographic endeavors.

Thank you all so v. very much for following!

Be well.
