A few people have asked if they can contribute to the restoration of the Beattie's Studio Collection without buying prints or books. And more than a few have actually done so. I am so grateful that the community values and believes in this collection as much as I do.

The storage and web hosting costs are not insignificant. 2Tb+ of photos costs around $300 per month. So a little help from my friends is most welcome. I started a Patreon page to open up this process to the wider community. For those who don't know, Patreon is a web site that connects generous people (patrons) to artistic and creative projects that need their financial support.

There is absolutely no expectation, but if you can and wish to contribute to Beattie's Digital Studio, the page is here;

I thank you for everything you do for me.
