If this blog were a feature film, you’d be the audience: some newcomers, some regulars, some skeptics, some enthusiasts.
Me? I’d be the multi-tasking, sleep-deprived, living-in-his-van, independent filmmaker with coffee breath, I suppose.
But a decent production needs so much more than you and me. It needs a crew of specialists.
Looking Closer is a blog I produce in my “spare time.” (I work full-time elsewhere, and I’m also currently taking graduate courses.) I need help to make it happen, and some of you are providing extraordinary support through donations.
You deserve credit. So I’m thanking you in two different ways:
1. Those who make a contribution of $25 or more will become members of a private Facebook group called Looking Closer Specialists. These folks get previews of some upcoming blog posts and even certain Facebook posts. They can participate in chats that might eventually be published (with their permission) on the blog; and they will get to help me brainstorm improvements and innovations for the Looking Closer 3.0. which I hope to launch in the next 6 months. And more.
2. All contributors deserve credit. So everyone who donates gets their name listed below in The Opening Credits. Most contributors are credited here as crew members. Those who contribute substantially — $75 or more — are credited as cast members, producers, or co-directors.
Want to add your name to the list?
Want to add some charge to the Looking Closer battery so that this electric car can keep moving?
And now, let’s give the Specialists some credit. Or rather… some credits.
