Bridge Project Donation

Help from strangers was something I never thought I’d be asking for but so many people have reached out asking how they can help I’m making this an option available. I’m setting the minimum donation at $10 and you can add to the quantity to donate more if you’d like. So 2 would be $20 and 3 would be $30 and so on. As some of you read I don’t make money being on the bridge 6 days a week. I never thought this project would become what it has and I also never thought I would end up spending so much time out there over the last 2 years. When I really committed to being out there every possible day the work got so much better I knew I couldn’t let up. And with more time comes more rolls being shot. And with more rolls being shot comes added expenses. And honestly at this point I’m in over my head at the 350 shot rolls I’m sitting on. I’ve been going so hard out there it all kinda got away from me and I realize I can’t really continue without help.

I’ve applied to many grants with no luck.

Thank you all so much for the support. Not even financially but just a DM telling me how excited you are for the project. It took me over a year being out there before I even told anyone what I was doing. And even months after that before I shared anything from the project. I have been keeping the work itself secret and holding onto everything until the book is done so with only a few photos being released 8 months ago I’m so thankful for all the love. This has been the most meaningful 2 years of my life and I can’t wait for these photos to be in your hands in the final form of a book.

You can also donate directly on PayPal with no fee.

Please make sure it’s correct if this is the route you go. It’s easy to miss a letter and send someone else funds.

Feel free to DM me on instagram for other options or with any questions.
