**NEW PATREON POST** I recently created a POV-style video for my patrons on #Patreon. It centers around a photo walk I took earlier this year. It's designed to give the viewers some insight into how I approach my street photography work. If you want to see more of my photography work, become a member of the #ChaosPhotos community on #Patreon! For as little as $1 a month you gain access to over three years of my photography work. And you can save 10% by choosing the annual subscription. Video description: it starts with a graphic with a black background and white text. The text in the center says, "Harlem January 13, 2021." There's a website address at the bottom of the graphic: www.patreon.com/creativechaosphotography. Next is a slideshow of images showing various street scenes, and one portrait. The video ends by showing a graphic with a black background and white text.

**Who gets to be heard?** . . As a photographer I occupy two primary roles. The first, as a practitioner of this creative art form. The second, as a student of it. In both roles I'm mindful of who is deemed "worthy," both in front of as well as behind the camera. What I enjoy about photography is that anyone can pick up a camera and become one. We can each tell our own stories of who we are, and what matters to us. . . I wrote a #Patreon post talking about this further. Please consider subscribing to my page to see this as well as my other photography related work. You can become a patron for as little as $1 USD! . . Click on the link in my bio to find out how. . .

**NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO** For those that are interested, I have a new #YouTube video (my first one of 2021) launching today. The link in my bio will take you to it. And if you enjoy it please leave a comment, "like," or subscribe to my YouTube channel. Speaking of which: I've been neglecting my YouTube channel. So my goal for 2021 is to release content on a more consistent basis. That said, **subscribers to my #Patreon photo community saw this video several weeks ago**. This is one of the perks of being a supporter. In addition, they get access to my diverse body of photography work, which includes images, essays, and more. This is one of the many benefits of subscribing to my Patreon page. For as little as $1 a month you can be part of a growing community of supporters. And if you choose the annual subscription method **you can save an additional 10%**. That's an excellent deal, in my opinion. Join the #ChaosPhotos community today!

“The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.” ~ Gordon Parks Whether it's uptown or down, I love taking photos of people around New York City. It's an important part of my #StreetPhotography practice. I enjoy the diversity--of #fashion, moods, the way each subject experiences life. #StreetPortait photography is a great way to connect with people, as well as an effective way to practice taking great pictures on the fly. Maybe I'll see you out there? I hope so! If you want to see more work like this, become a member of the #ChaosPhotos community on #Patreon!

**Bearing Witness** "Only within that interdependency of different strengths, acknowledged and equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are no charters." ~ Audre Lorde I've recently attended a number of rallies here in NYC centered around the #StopAsianHate movement. In this #PhotoEssay I share my thoughts on why I attended, the media's lack of care in reporting, and resources on supporting those impacted by the March 16th shooting spree in Atlanta.  This and other photo essays of mine are for subscribers at the $5 or greater level. Please subscribe to the #ChaosPhotos community on Patreon if you want to support my photography work. Thank you. Image description (1): a graphic with a black background and white text.

Image description (2): Four women are standing together, shoulder-to-shoulder, and facing the camera. The one on the far left is wearing an all green outfit and is carrying a sign. The sign says, "Not Your Yellow Peril/Model Minority/Dragon Lady/China Doll. The other three women are wearing all white outfits. The second from the right is carrying a white sign. It says, "BIPOC Unity To End White Supremacy." Image description (3): A young boy is holding a white sign and facing the camera. The sign says, "Asian Lives Matter."

**Etsy Shop Update** Back in January I offered select individuals a chance to purchase postcards that I made of some of my images. Thank you to everyone that bought some! They proved to be popular and so I've decided to offer them in my #Etsy shop. In addition, I'm also offering each individual image as a photo print. Now you have the option to send a message to a loved one, AND have a beautiful image to hang on your wall.  The price points for both the postcards and prints are inline with what I normally charge. If you’re a #Patreon subscriber at The Bronx level, you’ll receive a 10% discount on anything you purchase. It’s one of a number of benefits I offer to my #ChaosPhotos community members for being a subscriber.

**A Generous Gift** Gifts can be like magic tricks. They can charm, delight, and make you feel a sense of wonder. They can also leave you confused and unsettled. I experienced a bit of magic recently in the form of a gift from a stranger. I share details about what they are, along with the emotions I experienced from receiving them, on my #Patreon page.  This #PhotoEssay is available to subscribers at $5 and above. Go to the #ChaosPhotos community page to sign up and gain access to this, as well as over three years worth of photography related work.

**Quote of the Day - Destin Sparks** I love to read words that speak to why I create art through photography. This one from landscape photographer Destin Sparks is a great one, especially for 2020, in my opinion. I've said a number of times that creating and preserving memories are of vital importance, especially during unprecedented times. Photography is a well-suited method for doing this.  You can read more of my thoughts on this subject on my #Patreon page. The link is in my bio. The post is public which means anyone can view it. This gives you an opportunity to see a little bit of what members of the Creative Chaos Photography (#ChaosPhotos) community gets to see. For as little as $1 a month you will gain access to over three years worth of my photo work. In these challenging times of ours, we need art. Please #SupportArtists -- what we create enables personal, community, and cultural memories. Image description: a slideshow which starts with a graphic with a black background and white text.

**Winter Cleanup Sale!** I'm in the process of cleaning my apartment. I want to start the new year off right! With that I uncovered several images that that I had made for a number of reasons. They're a little old. That said, none are in horrible condition and are suitable for framing and hanging on a wall. I would rather give them away than get rid of them. I'm charging a rate that covers the cost of shipping and handling. If you want me to do something extra like sign it, let me know! Here's the breakdown: ~ The  dimensions listed are for the image size, not for the frame. ~ The asking price listed is for the image only. It does not include the frame. ~ Do not expect these orders to arrive before the end of December holidays. ~ The items listed are first-come-first serve. ~ To place an order send me an email at victorio@creativechaosphotography.com. FYI: members of my #Patreon community got the chance to purchase these prints over a week ago. And they took advantage by securing three of the eight images for themselves. This is one of the many perks that come with being a subscriber to my Creative Chaos Photography (#ChaosPhotos) page. For as little as $1 a month you get access to my photography work, along with being a member of a like-minded community of supporters.  Click the link in my bio to find out how you can become a supporter as well!
