Shane O's Stolen Camera Fund

I was recently in Las Vegas photographing a new convention for body paint artists. On my way home my camera and about $4000 worth of equipment was stolen. I had the equipment insured, but the insurance company only awarded me $250. Like the Las Vegas Convention, I donate my time and photo's to many conventions, models looking to create portfolio's, and to various artists throughout the nation trying to have their work seen. Even though I have professional photographer credentials, It is rare that I make any money at all for a shoot, which is why I need your help. I would love to hit $3000, on this so I can replace everything that was stolen with similar equipment. I have reached my first immediate goal of $1000, which was just the amount it was going to take to replace just the camera.I still have a few very expensive lenses, a speed light, an extra battery, a hot shoe flash adapter, memory cards, a sync cable, and a bag itself to replace, so please keep helping any way you can!
