Introduction from photographers in Massachusetts

zaps forwarded to @PictureRoom (10%)

After joining SN yesterday I wanted to introduce ourselves.

PappasBland is the collective work of Diana Pappas and Tom Bland, photographers and partners in work and life. We are based in the beautiful Berkshires in western Massachusetts, having relocated here in 2024 from New Jersey. Diana is from NJ originally, while I (Tom) am from the north of England.

We work together as photography partners under the umbrella of PappasBland, producing fine art prints of our work for collectors, helping our clients tell their story with photography, and pursuing our personal projects – all while writing an ambitious newsletter where we debut our newest work in the form of monthly art drops.

Our Bitcoin journey is picking up speed now, but it's been tough. We got caught up in the Celsius debacle and lost a bunch of BTC. Lesson learned. We are yet to integrate Bitcoin into our business but I'm working on it.

There's lots to see on our website. I'll start you off at our Art & Prints page: https://pappasbland.com/art. In time I'll share work here of course but I wanted to keep this focussed on just saying hi.

It's great to be here and I look forward to talking photography, Bitcoin, business, art, movies, music, whatever...

Is there anyone here from MA, CT, VT, NH, RI, Hudson Valley, NY?

Welcome! Just a heads up: currently, when you forward zaps, they arrive as cowboy credits due to a limitation we hope to soon fix. So if you want receive sats for your posts, don't forward them for the time being

Cowboy credits are explained in the FAQ.

Thanks. So to clarify, you're saying that if we forward zaps the recipient receives cowboy credits, or we do? The primary reason we're forwarding is because when I created our SN account I forgot to use the referral link we had been given by @PictureRoom. Is there a way to retroactively add that referral? Then we wouldn't need to do any forwarding. -Tom
