Nice pix! Wow, so that is how they raise $ nowadays.
I wrote to an institution that has some of my work in their collection. I asked if they could give me $200 to $300 to help me with a project they would have an interest in acquiring. They declined to help. I still donated the photos that came from the project to them. My placement was not dependent on $ help. I was just looking for some extra $ for food and to help me stay an extra day or so to shoot.
That was the only time I ever asked an institution for $.
I guess I'm way behind the times when it comes to raising $. When I travel I never eat out. I eat in my room with supermarket food or food I bring with me. I stay in cheaper hotels. My photography is 100% self funded. I'm not rich. I don't make any $ from my work. As such, I have lots of limits when it comes to my projects due to $.
If I had lots of dough I think my photography would have many more opportunities for expansion. In any case, I just have to work with what I can do comfortably within my budget.
