Right now, my profits from the ads on this site greatly outpace my hosting bills, but I still keep a big reserve. If you donate (PayPal) by clicking above, I’ll save your money to keep Thripp.com, DaytonaState.org, Th8.us, and VicAndHelen.com online, even as countless more visitors appear over the next decades.
I write a lot about personal development from my own experiences, code and maintain a WordPress plugin called Tweet This, keep up with a URL trimming service called Th8.us, and put other money toward my photography hobby (it’s quite expensive, you know). Most photos I post are free, even for commercial use. Also, I’m a poor, 17-year-old college student. I even had to pay for some books myself this semester.
If you’d like to help, I’m really frugal and will put your money to good use.
You can also send your love / money / possessions to:
RICHARD X. THRIPP
1829 NELSON AVE
ORMOND BEACH FL 32174-7227
I have a 50mm prime, the kit lens (18-55mm), and a 28-135mm zoom for my Canon Rebel XTi. If you have any different lenses you want to get rid of, I can put them to good use.
Also, you can buy photos from my shop. I ship them myself and keep my expenses down, so purchases are like donations.
Spread the word about my articles. I’m trying to help others overcome fear and take personal responsibility for their lives, even when the whole world encourages us to blame others. If you support these ideals, share your favorite posts with the “ShareThis” and “Tweet This” links below them.
Thank you.
The photo in the button is The Garden in Yellow, by the way.
