Braden Nesin is creating Awesome
I believe that art doesn't have to be melodramatic and sad. Art can be totally badass, too.
About
I want to visit every country in the world. So far I’ve been to four.
I’m a major foodie.
I can cook.
I hate doing dishes.
I’m a coffee snob.
I have a penchant for unfiltered bourbon and banh mi sandwiches.
I’m probably a hipster.
I know the definition of the word “ironic,” but I’m still terrified of using it incorrectly so I almost never do.
I only have one tattoo, but I have plans for full sleeves.
I think the movie Brick is the most perfectly made movie in history. There may be some that are better, or more significant, but none that are nearly as perfect in every way.
I read a lot, but very few classics. I always mean to read them one day, but right after this next trash fantasy novel.
I listen to a ridiculous amount of music. Please don’t ask me what my favorite band is.
I can play bass guitar, but not very well and I really have no idea what I’m doing.
I’m originally from California, and I feel the need to specify which half. Northern.
I love to dance, and I’m actually pretty good at it.
Chances are if I’ve met you, I love you. Don’t be weird about it.
I’m afraid of heights and of dogs that bark, no matter how big or small. Quiet dogs are fine.
I love cats. I feel like we have an understanding.
I feel like by this point you know me more than I know you. Maybe we should fix that.

I love creating awesome photographs of awesome people, ideally while they're doing awesome things. If you're here, chances are you like what I do, too. Maybe you'd like it if I kept doing it? Patreon gives you an opportunity to give me a tip whenever I create a cool photo. It provides a steady and reliable revenue stream, meaning I have to worry less about making a living and can worry more about what awesome thing to shoot next. I'm not holding my photos hostage, I will put them up online, for free, always.
Here's how this plays out. Every week I will post one photo, only the best of the work I produce. You set an amount you'd like to tip me, and every week when I post a new work that money will go to me. If you're worried, you can set a monthly maximum, but I promise to never spam you with photos.
If you tip $1, you will get a full-res download of the photo. Most of these are 23MP images, plenty huge, though occasionally I do crop in, sometimes a lot. Whatever pixels I have you will get.
If you tip $5, I will send you a 4x6 of every photo I post. If at least 20 people pledge at this level, I will change that to a personalized postcard. I'll write each of you a personal note.
If you tip $10, I will mail you a signed 8x10.
If you tip $35 I will love you forever. I will also send you a signed 16x20 of each photo I post, numbered as part of a limited run. I will only produce as many of these as there are pledges at this level (plus one for myself) and will never print these photos at this size again, for anyone.
Thank you, so much. I love what I do, and I love that there are so many people out there that want to support me, to help me keep doing this thing that I obsess over. <3
