Mike is The Online Photographer. Regular, recurring Patreon donations are helping the THE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHER survive in the YouTube age. For as little as $1 a month (contributations range from $1 to $40 a month, with most being $2 or $3), you can keep the site openand help the creator avoid doing the work it would take to proceed to the endgame and make the website subscription-only. Which the creator really doesn’t want to do. The Internet has changed since 2005. Back then, written-word blogs were the latest thing. Now, Google’s YouTube has taken over. The written word is not quite as antiquated as flash powder and cameras with leather bellows, but it’s definitely obsolescent on the Web. The creator, who is proudly self-employed, is looking into “real jobs,” like becoming an alcoholism counselor, but hopes to keep the website hopping beyond that. The creator is proud of the site, which has been a success since the creator stopped working his last outside paying gig in 2009, the creator’s long experience in the field, the way with words, and loyal and appreciative readers.
