$2/moThanks!Every dollar, and penny, helps
$5/moPostcardThanks to the internet, postcards are a dying art. But once a year I'd like to send you, or someone you designate, a postcard from somewhere in the world.
$15/moPostcard+This is the same as the $5 tier -- a postcard -- except that I will also try to remember to make and send you a video hello from me and a barber somewhere in the world.
$30/moPrintHave you seen one of my pictures that you particularly like? Once a year I'll send you an enlarged print of your choice. (If you want a recommendation, here's one of my favorites: https://www.joelcarillet.com/portfolio/G0000opx_rxBHclw/I0000lbStBvAsnOc)
Plus a postcard.
$50/moBookYou'll receive (if you want it!) a copy of the one book I've published so far, called 30 Reasons to Travel: Photographs and Reflections from Southeast Asia. Published in 2008, it includes my early work (i.e., the first year I started doing photography.) It's not bad, but future books will be better.
Plus a print and a postcard.
$100/moPresentationIf you like, after a year at this level, I'll come to where you are and do a presentation for you or any small or medium size group of which you are a part. (Depending on where you live, I might require help with travel expenses.)
Plus a book, a print, and a postcard.
