Because what does a photograph mean -if anything- if you can’t say something about it? Therefor I offer two (2) types of memberships, and one subscribership – more on that further below:
Subscriber – this is the newsletter-only tier, and as a Subscriber you will receive the weekly Sneakerzoom Bulletin*; an e-mail with collated photographs and/or articles as posted on the website in the previous week, as well as occasional news bits such as project updates or things of that nature.
Member – 100% free and access to (almost) everything on this website. On top of that, you don’t need a WordPress or Gravatar account; becoming a Member enables you to comment to photographs and articles on sneakerzoom.ca exclusively.
Gold Member – this is a paid Membership, with similar access as a Member, but if you’re game to make a small donation (the equivalent of a roll of Kodak Portra medium format film), this would be your tier.
Bonus: both Members & Gold Members will have access to select printed works, free of charge (except postage), if also subscribed to the Newsletter.
* Note that becoming a (Gold) Member does not automatically subscribe you to the newsletter, and vice versa. Go here to subscribe to the Sneakerzoom Bulletin.

Combining Tiers
‘Can I combine tiers?’ Absolutely! You can easily sign up for the Newsletter and become a Member – you’ll get the best of both worlds. This is how:
- Register as a Subscriber and then (Gold) Member separately (sorry for the hassle), or:
- Register as a (Gold) Member first, and then check the ‘Sign me up for your Newsletter’ tick box in the comment section of any photograph or article
