Wetlook World Forum

I am a big fan. I however did not send you any money via paypal. This was for a couple of reasons:

I did not relise that the amount was optional - I intended to send $50 or nothing. With such a big donation, when compared to other site membership fees I wanted to see how many undates there were over the first week, (also my wife was off work that time and spending loads of time on the PC isn't good !!!!) - anyway, you only updated once during that period. You did explain when you came back that you had been doing some photoshoots, but nevertheless, I held off paying, and again waited to see if you updated the site. You did give us some excellent photos, but I still felt 263photos for $50 was not really value for money. I understand that you required members to donate to actually get the photos on, but I reckoned at $50 for 10 photos, they would only be posted at irregular intervals, whereas for that amount of cash, I really need a few thousand photos straight off i.e. Leonmoomin, MK sites.

I am sure that many of us who did sign up, wanted to subscribe through PayPal, but there must be many like me, who were waiting to see what happened, because if no-one donated then no photos would would be posted and we would get poor value for money. If you had only issued the membership after getting the donation, then things, I'm sure would have been different.

I am very sorry that the scheme didn't work out, as I love your work.

Once again, I would ask you to generate photos CDs and make them available to all of us , and ask a realistic price that reflects your hard work, but still lets us enjoy your photos. You would get your donations up front, and we would know exactly what was on order. With CD burning being so easy these days, could this be an option?? I know of other sites that sell photo CDs for about $25 per thousand images. This sounds like a lot, but once you have burnt that all important first CD, then making further copies is straight forward, and CDs are very cheap. Obviously postage would be an extra cost above the $25.

Please reconsider!!!   Your work is fantastic, and we do all want to see it - if you cannot make a pay site then this could be the easy option. It seems such a shame that you are paying out so much money and spending so much time on these shoots and your real fans are not getting to see the results.

Thank you for what has already been made available - I'm sorry that Flickr didn't work out.
