Early morning coffee

It is just a few minutes before 0200, and I have already enjoyed my first cup of coffee, and another is brewing. I am an early to bed, early to rise individual.

The past few mornings I have been working on my kickstarter campaign. I plan to launch a little over a year from now, and hope to spend that time crafting my message, and gathering support before I go public.

A year before launch my seem far away, but I have a list of things to work on before then. First on the list it to start training. On past bicycle trips I just got off the couch, and rode away. Now in my mid sixties I need to get off the couch sooner, and get some training in.

I also need to build up my base of supporters. I have a funding goal of $26,000. This is my budget for two years on the road. I would rather have 26,000 people support me with a dollar each than one person giving me the full sum. I want people to follow along on this great adventure, to take part as I pedal along, set up my camera gear, and create lasting images of people, and places.

Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work.
