Replace Bryan's Stolen Camera/Lens

As many of you know, one of Bryan Humphrey's cameras was stolen from his photo booth at DragonCon on Sunday, September 6th.  To hear of such a thing at such a fun and friendly event is gutting, to say the least, but to hear that this terrible thing happened to one of the kindest and giving people at the entire convention is extra difficult to hear.  His friendship and guidance has meant a lot to me over my last six years of Con attendance, as I'm sure it has to many of you.  His guidance for fellow photographers and enthusiasm for the costumes we spend so much time creating are both qualities that showcase the best DragonCon has to offer.  Not to mention his commitment to quality in his own work!

In light of Bryan's unfailing generosity and commitment to excellence, I am presenting this opportunity to return the favor.  In order to replace the missing Nikon D300 camera and 2.8 17-55mm lens, the cost is $3050.  That's all I'm hoping to accomplish; replace what CAN be replaced.  The photos that were taken are gone, and the disappointment with the actions of one person cannot be erased, but we can at least help this be a little less painful for a guy we have all grown to love.  Please consider giving whatever you can to help bring Bryan's photographic repertoire back up to full strength!
