Let me just add a corollary so I don’t sound like just a fan boy. Here in the USA, you get a lot of Travel Vlogers who cover for example the African continent and all 56 countries. There are many who do it, but few have an expats sense of how to unlock various elements of these cultures they visit. In your subject area specialty, you are outstanding in your field (as the scarecrow does in his fields…lol). And you bring the human touch to each experience. Okay… enough out of me in this public setting. I’m waiting for my 20 cedis.

Hey @ brokenrulerlabs, thanks for your response, I sincerely appreciate your insights. As a kid, who grew up in the boonies (small town Idaho), I always fanaticized what life in a cultural center would be like. Moving to New York at the end of the 1970s, I got a chance to experience a vital and energetic art scene, in all its good and not so good aspects. When I discovered KZfaq (with the help of my tech savvy kids) in 2006, I realized that this was a tool I could use to try and bring a view of the New York art scene to the world. As one of the longest continuous content providers here at KZfaq (I’ve posted around 1500 vids in over seventeen years, with more than 50,000 subs) I’ve witnessed how this platform and its contributors have evolved. Though I started out with no idea of how to produce video, and no technical experience, I’ve taught myself in public, a rudimentary level of video production, using the simplest camera equipment, and editing programs. In the past couple of years, I’ve watched as other “producers” have caught on to what I saw as a fantastic opportunity to expose ideas. Some of these folks have become “KZfaq superstars” with millions of views and subs, making loads of cash. While I admire the success of these entrepreneurs, I’ve never monetized my channels because, that’s never been my goal. I knew that my chosen subject (the art scene, particularly painting) is of very limited appeal to the general public (though a few of the programs have hundreds of thousands, even millions of views). My mission has been, and will be, to try and create a worldwide community of art (painting) enthusiasts, who are part of a supportive and informed tribe, and if I can throw in some views of city life, to contextualize the work, so much the better. “Knowledge is Power,” if I can expand the knowledge, and awareness of artists, then I’ve empowered my crew, and done my job. This isn’t “20 cedis”, but it’s probably worth what you paid for it…Thanks again…JK PS I hope your watching the James Kalm Report channel as well. kzfaq.info/love/MAQTBPIm_0zRgTQVjS2NIA
