The less travelled path. (Patreon)

Patreon subscription this month have gone down severely.
But what really makes me sad is that I'm loosing some of the oldest and most affectionate patrons, and the main reason appears to be a change in their financial situation.

The consequences of Covid are hitting hard in many people life, and I fully understand some cuts have to be made in the non essential departments.

At the same time, some patrons have managed to increase their pledge, and I really appreciate this effort.
The whole point of my Patreon profile is to allow a voluntary contribution that reflects the real possibilities of each individual.
I would like to keep in my tribe the highest number of faithful fans, because it is paramount to build up this intimate bond.

At least, I'm comforted by the fact that even if a follower is forced to give up the subscription to my Patreon, he can still see plenty of my content on other social media and he will never loose contact with what's going on in the Bramley Apple world.
I'm pretty sure most of these ex-patrons are just waiting to get back onboard as soon as the shit-storm is over.

These are the first 2 shot I've ever taken of Martina, with my trustworthy Leica M240, during our first shooting on February 2018.
In the past years we have witnessed the evolving of some of our favourite models, and seen plenty of new faces  joining the family.
I'm sorry some of the most committed patrons had to give up the pleasure of walking this less traveled path with us, the view is much better from here.
But we are all heading in the same direction, and I'm pretty sure they will join our group again pretty soon!
