I have two types of "fans". One of them sucks.
I've noticed I have two types of fans.
I have those who:
- have followed me for years on different accounts following me from social media platform to social media platform
- like anything I post (even if it's junk lol)
- subscribe to my Patreon when they can
- follow it at the free level when they can't afford the paid
- share my posts
- comment publicly to help boost my visibility and reach on social medias
- give me ideas
- give me $5 on my birthday even when they have very little money themselves
- pay for my Patreon at $15 even when I offer them a discounted yearly rate because they want to help me make money
- give me tips at shoots
- give me photos to share with you all even though they paid me to model for them and don't owe me photos
- tell me who the predatory photographers are
- pay for my Patreon and never even look at it because they know it's a way to support me financially
- buy one or more of my books or share posts about them on social media
And, then I have those who:
- ask me for photos taken just for them privately because they think they are special and better than everyone else
- get mad at me when I don't have time to take said photos because I work 5 jobs and already post on here literally every day
- tell me my page is a bunch of blurs because they won't pay to subscribe to my Patreon even though they have money to
- ask me to email them photos "for art/poetry creation purposes" rather than just paying to subscribe on here and getting 10+ years of photos
- never post any public comments, but message me privately over and over taking up my time trying to get me to interact with them
- love my work, but want me to model with them for free "for the love of the art"
- comment inappropriate comments and emojis on my photos
- subscribe for one month and steal all my photos and post them on porn sites
I'm no longer catering to the second type of "fan". I will stick with my ride or dies in the first category. You know who are you. Thanks for being here and your constant support.

I love your industry\career reflections. Thank you for the advice videos.
Thank you! I have ideas for a couple more, so stay tuned. If you have suggestions of things I should make one on, let me know. I'm always trying to think what people want to know or care to know. :)
There are too many of the second types. They must be feeling entitled and superior to others. Following you for years and appreciate more than your figurative work. Your Barbie dioramas, flower photos (even purchased one), and your spicy writings. There are so many more aspects to you than modeling. 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate you!!!
Some people are just morons… they think they are the center of the Univers…
i don't comment but its mostly becuse work makes one busy. sorry to hear this
You're fine! You are supportive.
I haven't been here long but I'm grateful for all of the content you post on a daily basis. Sadly I'll be dropping to free soon but I'll be back 💯💯💯
Free is still supportive! There are ways to support me that don't cost money and I value those, too. If you can come back for December, that's another great month, because I try to make it extra special for holidays and through the Winter for people who get seasonal depression. Thank you!
I appreciate all your posts. I love see the difference lighting. Perspective of an artist eye when do anything. Nature postings as well.
People under the second category are everywhere, sadly. These are those who refuse to tip whenever they go out to restaurants and do anything they can to get their meals for free. Except on your site, they want a free sampling of nudity.
😊
That second group can eat a dick
Well, you said it better than I did. I should have used that wording. hahaha
