Thank you, that sounds great. I will try to create more bonus Videos where I take you with me on the road when I take photos :)

HI Olivio, I do not want to be repetitive as Kevin nailed my thoughts as well, but here are my thoughts. I do not mind editing and your tutorials have helped me a great deal to make a good picture into great one. However, I would rather be behind the camera trying to be artistic then behind a computer. Although, you can be very artistic behind a computer as well. I really enjoyed your video on 3 - ideas for photo projects. I like the doors and I am one the individuals who likes the idea of corner buildings. I like the perspective. I also appreciate hearing your perspective and philosophies on how you connect these idea to everyday life. I prefer the photo project ideas over the Facebook creation. Although, I did learn quite a bit. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you. Yes Reddit was short lived as Patreon stopped supporting it and the interface and functions are quite confusing and limited. Facebook is a lot nicer for that. I was pondering about creating a Patreon exclusive Facebook group, but I don't know how to control that, to keep track of who is a patreon or not (many people use fake names on facebook and not everyone likes facebook). Book reviews would be nice, although most books I read are not about photography - I take most of my inspirations from other books like Biographies and such. The ability to post was, as far as i know, removed from Patreon (the community tab). I haven't looked at that for a long time to be honest. The trade-off with patreon exclusive things is that on one side i want to create cool rewards, on the other side, a lot less people see that content and it's always a pity to create something and then maybe 5 people look at it. I really would love to figure out what most patreon would like to see. The survey I did, indicated that most love to see artistic toughts and insights, but the actual videos get less interest than the survey indicated - which is strange. Maybe i'm hitting the wrong topics

Hi Olivio, thank you for continuing to create these bonus videos for us. I for one, as usual, greatly appreciate them. As you know I like to learn about these 'alternative views' and philosophies about art and creativity. So, yes, the topics interest me more so than the technical skills of photo composition (although I appreciate the need for it). Yes, the length is ok, for me anyway! Yes, some of them do inspire me and some of your phrases and ideas stick with me (Art is fun"!) New topics. Book reviews? Speed creativity (set a timer for 10 minutes and then finish whatever the stage). I used to like the ability to post our creations here on Patreon and then you moved it to reddit, which didn't seem to endure. I liked the closed knit feeling of the Patreon group as I feel the Facebook group is now too large for me to share things. How about the topic of in-camera versus post production composition i.e. getting it right in camera to minimise editing or, switching it round, taking photos that you are planning to composite. These are just a few of my thoughts and hope they help. All the best Kevin
