My Patreon Is Back!

Greetings to all my faithful followers, loyal friends and random stumble uponers!

I'm happy to announce that I'm restarting my Patreon page rewards in August! FINALLY!

While my Patreon page never disappeared, I never could find the time to edit, or in some cases re-edits photos and combine them into sets for Patreon rewards. I was always busy shooting and editing photos for clients. But,...

Pizza Slut featuring @damseldoll is released to Member Review. This is my first set as a photographer on Suicide Girls. I really hope for @damseldoll and myself that the set is well received and gets lots of ❤️s and nice comments.

Look for it sometime on 08-09 August 2018.

Stay Tuned...

1 Month To Go!

Greetings faithful followers, loyal friends, and random stumble uponers!

It's been sizzling in Las Vegas lately... 108°F+ the past few days... the second time this summer (already!) that we've had 108°F+ for multiple days in a row. Ugh! Now the monsoon is moving in. Temperatures will come down a bit (like 5-10°F), but the humidity, which is normally less than 10%, will rise to 25%...

This is what happens when your Mini Cooper takes steroids!

Not the best photo of my Mini Cooper, but it’s the best I could find. It was red with a black top and accents.

Loved driving it. Lots of fun. But it had 94,704 miles on it and needed some work done beyond what I put into it last week. And to be honest, I had to get things repaired on it that I never

Patreon Creators PSA

Greetings from Las Vegas to all my faithful followers, loyal friends, and random stumble uponers! It's fragging hot here! Like 108-112℉ hot! It's supposed to "cool" off to the low 100s this weekend; I'll take it.

Anyway, this is a Public Service Announcement to all Patreon Creators...

I didn't see any announcements, but I usually just gloss over the Patreon emails without fully reading them...

@xheartswornx, Patreon’s payment system is to batch as many payments together to reduce transaction fees for creators. That’s partly why their payment model is the way it is. But they listened to creators asking for the pay up front model because of all the ‘free’ patrons. As for disappearing content, most creators use Dropbox or some other cloud storage from which to serve their content. Not all of us can afford or want to pay for terabytes of space to store high resolution photos, which can be 10+ Mb each. That’s mostly why content is taken down periodically. Photographers, like myself, often do pay for additional cloud storage so that we can provide proofing galleries to clients and such. In my case, I have a VPS for my website host which comes with 40 Gb disk space. I serve all of my rewards from there. At some point, I will have to take down content, upgrade my VPS, or move the content to someplace like Google Drive or Dropbox where cloud storage is relatively cheap.

Makes sense! Thanks for that info. I know what you mean, but never realized it in relation to Patreon. In other things, though, there isn't as much of an excuse. Like I said, my qualms go back to limited gaming rewards and burgers available for a month. Seasonal ice cream or coffees make sense, but it's a big tease for no reason if it goes over well. I can accept cloud storage issues, thought. Makes sense.

@littlejohn22, OMG!!!!!! It was so amazing. My ears are still ringing. The decibel meter on my phone hit 108.5 after the empty net goal.

Posing Problems?

Blog Homework: What I Wanted To Be When I Grew Up

Greetings from Las Vegas to all of my faithful followers, loyal friends, and random stumble uponers!

A few weeks ago, @rambo and @missy asked us to write about what we wanted to be as a kid, and what our current profession is... so here I go.

Like most little kids, I probably wanted to be a police officer or a fireman when I grew up....

@xheartswornx who’s your team?
xheartswornx:
@cmmeanschicagomade25 If you're referring to baseball I don't follow anyone. I can't watch other people play sports because I get really bored watching something I could be doing instead. Roller derby is about the only sport I will sometimes watch, but usually to learn some fancy footwork to use myself versus to cheer on a team or even learning the opposing team's strategies. It's how my mind works, I guess. If I had to vote on a team regardless of how much I like them I go Cleveland all the way to support my local dudes, but I don't watch.

SCORE!

Got tickets for Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2 Game 2 | San Jose Sharks v Vegas Golden Knights @ T-Mobile Arena Saturday Evening!

This will be after seeing Avengers Infinity War!

Pretty much watch movie, hop in car, drive to arena, watch hockey in the desert! Only about 1.5 hours between end of movie and start of game!

Saturday is going to be so much
