Infinitesatori,
Just watched your video. I am stunned. My wife is a also a travel photographer. One day she will succumb to my pleas and launch a KS project. We lived lives of gypsie crafters on Maui then San Fran. It all started because I came back from a solo trip to Kaui and got my photos printed at Wolf Camera, where she worked. 6 months later we lay in a hammock and watched a silent lightening storm alight the skies of Belize.
In truth we are always on that hammock, two souls trapped in the amber of time.
Please check out this man>
http://www.kalisher.com/It is strange, the roles we play in this Movie of Life. Yes, he has a staff of 16 right now--but this is just the part of the river we are gliding on--in the row boats of our lives (merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. . . life is but a dream).
In 1999 he was running around San Francisco with his wife Helen. I was working at gift store that carried his prints. I loved when it was time to reorder, because that meant he had to come in and restock his prints in the bin. You see, I was teaching myself art then (the piece, "Moonlit Dreams" was drawn from "borrowed" paper from the Beach Chalet where I worked) and wanted to know how to be a "print artist" like him.
The common thread I recall is, "hard work."
It stuns me when I see where he and Helen have gone--it is as if he exists in another universe. But, I learn from everyone I meet or find online. . . and I am still learning from Jesse. . . learning where hard work actually can take some of us.
After he connected me with my first frame shop job at The Artisans on Union Street I lost touch with him for awhile. He and Helen soon left San Fran. They only carried film, backpacks and his camera. They traveled the world. He trapped the world behind his lens. And the rest of the story is still being written. . .
Send him your campaign link. Your video is stunning. Read his blog.
My point?>Your book is already here. You will find a way to fund the trip. It could be this project, or next. . . who knows? But never cancel this project. One day--if given permission--I will tell the story of how a family member was funded by a Hollywood actor. Sounds like bs. I know. But that same actor just pledged 10k on a KS project.
Never cancel.
Who knows what will happen?
In the KS Time Warp.
Anything is possible.
