Hi everyone,

I have cut back a lot of late, first I gave up my Pixels account and website and thus no longer have any outlet to sell my work. I also changed my 500px account to the free version . The net result is my work no longer get so much exposure but I cannot justify the expense. Over the years, I’ve tried all kinds of things, books, e-books, online galleries and different websites including my own but I’ve long since recognised that my work isn’t of widespread interest to the buying public, so it no longer makes any financial sense to pay for these sites as things here in the UK have been very hard with the current cost of living crisis, our fuel bill alone has more than doubled last month and, despite cutbacks, our food bill is also very expensive, If things don’t ease up soon I’ll have to consider switching my Flickr account over to the free one but it does introduce loads of adds which I think are off putting. Reluctantly, my blog is the last thing on my list if it becomes absolutely necessary. I am closing my LinkedIn account which has never worked for me and, some while back I closed my Twitter account as I strongly object to Elon Musk’s policy of re-instating banned accounts.

Kind regards

Leigh
