Why give?

Thank you for considering supporting my photography journey! Running this website and capturing unique, high-quality images takes time, passion, and funding. Donations help me in so many ways—from a simple gesture like buying me a coffee to supporting more ambitious projects like funding trips for new photography adventures.

I would also love to upgrade my camera gear, as my current equipment is over five years old and starting to show its age. Better gear means better images, allowing me to bring you even more vibrant landscapes, starry night shots, and detailed nature photos.

Every bit of support goes directly into making this possible—covering travel costs, gear maintenance, late-night shoots, and keeping this site running smoothly. Even the smallest contribution helps fuel my passion and allows me to keep sharing these special moments with you. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Getting started with donating is easy! Just choose an amount that feels right for you—whether it's buying me a coffee or helping with travel or gear costs, every bit of support makes a difference. Thank you for helping me keep creating and sharing amazing moments!

  • FAQ

    Where will my donation go, and how much does the camera cost?

    Your donation goes directly towards helping me keep creating and sharing beautiful images! This includes upgrading my equipment, funding travel to new locations, and covering operational costs for maintaining this website. My current goal is to purchase the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, which currently retails for $5,899.99. This price is just for the camera body; I'll also need to upgrade my lenses, as my current ones aren’t compatible with this new camera's mount. Every bit of support helps me get closer to reaching this goal. Thank you for making it possible for me to keep capturing and sharing these moments with you!
