Thank you for being here.

I share my photography on ijmphotography.net as a quiet offering—to notice light, place, and the small moments that often go unseen. It’s a personal practice, but one I hope resonates with others, too.

Maintaining this site and continuing to create takes time, modest resources, and ongoing care. If you’ve found something here that moved you—a photograph, a sense of stillness, a moment of connection—and you’d like to support the work, I’d be sincerely grateful.

Your support goes directly toward the quiet essentials: website hosting, film and development costs, occasional gear maintenance, and the time it takes to wander, wait, and frame the next shot. Nothing flashy—just enough to keep sharing this work openly.

But please know: there’s absolutely no expectation. This site will always be free and open to all. Your presence, attention, and appreciation are already more than enough.

Last month, readers covered two rolls of HP5 and a new lens hood I’d been putting off. Thank you.

Support the Quiet Essentials

Every contribution—of any amount—helps keep the work alive. If you’d like to, you can choose what your support covers:

• €5 – One roll of Fomapan 100 for a morning walk
• €15 – Development & scan of a roll from the Loire
• €50 – A month’s hosting & a replacement lens cap (I lose them)
• €100– A weekend of wandering: transport, coffee, film

A quiet thank-you: If you choose to contribute, I’ll send a private, unlisted photo and note—something from the archive that never made the blog. For £50+, I’ll mail a handwritten postcard from Nantes. It’s a small gesture, but a sincere one.

With quiet thanks,

Ian
