MANual focus

I have challenged myself to a personal and professional "Reboot" if you will. My life has run into a lot of change and I find myself looking inward, when I should look around me, especially with my camera. So here I go, driving across country with my photography gear. Nine days, 5,500 miles, by myself in deep reflection. What images will I capture in my unique way? What will I learn about my craft? What will I learn about myself? 

I will start in my home town of Matthews, NC, with stops in Nasheville, Colorado Springs, Reno, Lodi, Albuquerque and Memphis. I will visit friends in Colorado Springs and do an apperal photo shoot in Lodi. I haven't planned any cool stops yet, I'm going to let my mood and location be my guide....a little spontaneus. I will detail the trip via my blog and social media, so you can follow along.

I'm driving my own car, so the funds will go towards my gas and food...that's it. Your donation will help fuel me internally and externally and I appreciate that! Some friends are letting me crash along the way and I'm covering the rest of my lodging.  It would be helpful to have the funds in hand before I leave on 12.26.17. 

By supporting my project, let's me know you understand my need for a clear head and heart. It also allows me to carry my vision across the land and continue my hunt for the unique. Your support means you believe in my art and are interested in me pushing my limits. 

I appreciate you funding my artistic endeavours. Want to give over $25? Awesome, if you do, you will recieve a signed 8"x10" print of your choice from a top 10 gallery of images from the trip. Thank you doesn't feel like enough, but a little investment will go a long way...literally. You can learn more about me, my work and follow the MANual focus blog at JJDPhoto2art.


One small action has the ability to effect a lot of change.
