A couple days ago while taking some team photos I made the mistake of leaving my Zoom Lens out and sitting on top of my camera bag in the dugout. Unfortunately a little guy accidentally knocked it off onto the concrete. Now it has a lot of loose parts moving around inside and will not focus. The last thing I wanted to do was start a Go Fund Me but after encouragement to do so from many people I guess I will. A replacement lens will cost around $1850.00. I have been taking action photos for the school for about 12 years. Over that time I have snapped roughly 60,000 shots. I have donated prints to various fundraisers, used my pics to make tribute videos, provided artwork for different organizations, but mostly provided timeless keepsakes for hundreds of kids. I am going to eventually get a new lens but hopefully with your help I can get it sooner rather than later and continue taking memory shots. If I am able to reach my goal and get the lens all my action photos this year will be copy-write free and available for anyone to print any photos they want! Thanks Blu-Jay Nation!
