After many, many messages and people begging to help, I decided to make a GoFundMe! As many of you have probably seen via social media...My camera and another photographer's camera (David Aaron aka @wraithdogg) were damaged at a hardcore show this past week. The vocalist of the band Cross of Disbelief decided to intentionally kick and hit our cameras out of our hands during their set causing them to not function properly...We were both going to just eat the cost of repairs, but the outpour of support has basically begged us to create this!

I just want to say, even tho this all happened...I still love Hardcore. Huge thanks to everyone for all the support and to everyone who reached out—it truly means everything. The hardcore community has always been about sticking together, lifting each other up, and overcoming the odds, and this is just another way we show that unity in action. We're going to split the proceeds for repairs/new gear to continue documenting local hardcore shows, our people, and our history.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS ART. WE ARE ARTISTS, AND WE LOVE YOU ALL!

SHOUT OUT SOUTHEAST HARDCORE!
