Look! An adorable puppy! Now that I have your attention…
As some of you already know, my camera bag containing my beloved 50D and all of my lenses & accessories was stolen from me at Bamboozle two weekends ago. Now I am $4,000 out, and I have exhausted all other options from filing a police report to researching every possible way to claim insurance on the loss. After a dozen suggestions from friends to start a donation campaign I have decided to start a IndieGoGo in an attempt to recover some of the funds so I can buy new gear. Please consider donating if any of my photos have resonated with you and/or you’d like to be a part of rebuilding a huge part of my livelihood.
The perks of the campaign are 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 prints for $10, $25, and $50 donations (respectively), and you can choose from almost everything on my Flickr—except self portraits, because that’s just weird.
Thank you to everyone for the support thus far, and a special shout out to Ashley Osborn for suggesting this campaign site! Love and positive energy to you all.
Personal post:
Kelly Mason is one of the sweetest ladies and talented photographers I’ve ever met! Some butthole took her stuff at Bamboozle a few weeks ago and I am urging you guys to please, please, PLEASE help out a friend. You can get super rad prints from bands like Vices, The Devil Wears Prada, Die Antwoord, The Wonder Years, and August Burns Red in exchange for your donations. A music photog getting her gear stolen is just as bad as a band’s van being broken into, so please help her get back on her feet!
