I can't say I dreamt of being Roy Stryker since my childhood, but I think that the idea of photographic maecenatum has entered my mind. Alas – I haven’t won the lottery yet, and I don’t buy tickets. I think a more practical way to do it is to create a place where people that have disposable income can meet and sponsor photographers with the talent and drive. With all the social network sites around, why not one for photography admirers to post and sponsor worthy artistic (not commercial) photographic endeavors?
