So now that I am done with all the art shows for the spring season I am planning to go on a three week photo trip. This year I have chosen to focus on the beautiful state of California. I will be flying into Los Angeles and making a loop around the state to shoot the many varied landscapes that exist in California.
I often get comments that I “must do a lot of traveling”. The truth is I only take one or two trips a year. It is just that when I take my trips I thoroughly research the areas I am visiting to know roughly where I am going and then spend all of my time from sunrise to sunset doing photography.
With my upcoming trip I plan to spend more time away from home than in any of my previous trips. This is an exciting endeavor, but at the same time somewhat frightening for me financially. I am hoping to offset some of my travel costs as well as raise money for the preparation of the images from the trip for exhibition through the website Kickstarter.
Kickstarter, for those that are unfamiliar, is a website dedicated solely to raising money to fund creative projects. In return for contributing to a project, rewards are given to the contributor based on the level of their pledge. In the case of my project I am offering prints at a price point that is lower than if you were to buy them off of the website here or from me at a show. I will also be giving all contributors access to a series of exclusive 360 degree virtual tours of the areas my photos are coming from. These will provide a unique opportunity to see the “entire picture” of the areas in which my photos are taken.
Please visit my project on Kickstarter to learn more. Thank you for any help you can provide.
