Hello everyone! I'm here on gofundme to ask for some help to replace my Photography Equipment. Your generosity will help me to get closer to my goal.
I want to share with you some of my journey:
I've always had a love for photography since I was a child, I was 15 years old when my 1st series of celebrity images were published in a magazine called "Teen Lines". I would like to send a special THANK YOU, to Terrance for inviting me to MC Lytes Cha Cha Cha Music video shoot and to MC Lyte for being so cool and taking the time to pose for me. This great experience interest me to venture toward celebrity photography. Below are some of my 1st images that kick started me to being A Celebrity Photographer.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED...
MC Lyte & her Dj K Rock at Downing Stadium in NYC.
I took these Photos with a Kodak 35mm film camera (I was only a kid so don't judge me. lol) This is before the Digital world took over.

Why I need your help:
My life as a photographer has sadly come to a halt. I had a fire in my home and my insurance did not cover to replace alot of my damaged things including my photography equipment. I unfortunately did not have replacement insurance. I had a few unexpected life situations and medical expenses that has prevented me from being able to replacing my photography equipment.
I don't typically ask for help when it comes to things like this, but I can't allow not asking to hold me back from my dreams. I hope you find it in your heart to give whatever you can, any amount will help. Your donation will help me to be prepared for jobs/oppurtunites. I have passed alot of work to other photographers. I've been saving as much as I can, but I thought that gofundme will help me each my goal much sooner.
I had the Canon 20 D & 40 and loved them both. These cameras have assisted me in covering so many great events, but unfortunately the fire has ended the 20D life and my 40D was stolen.m.
I really need this equipment in order to continue my journey.
What I'm planning to buy: Here is what you're funding will asset me in getting!
*Canon EOS 5D Mark III ($3,699 without lens) w/video production kit
*Canon EOS 6D ($2,099 without lens)

*64GB SDXC Card Extreme Pro ($119 each) x2
*Mac Book Pro ($2799)
=$20,510 Plus promotional items taxes & shipping
My goal amount is Approximately $25,000 total as listed
