Crowdfunding for stolen camera gear
Donation protected
To answer a few of the messages I've been getting over the last month on my photography website and Instagram asking why I haven't been posting images anymore, here you go:
About one month ago while volunteering for a non-profit helping United States Veterans with PTSD in Oakland CA, my friends SUV was broken into and my camera gear was stolen. All gear was lost and not recovered.
My insurance company Liberty Mutual claimed that because my camera gear was used for "work" that they weren't going to cover my gear. Even though I've never been paid for photographs or a photography job ever. They couldn't understand how street photography could be an art/hobby. After a month of appealing their decision, I have had no luck and I'm left without a camera.
I hate to ask for handouts but after more than a few people mentioned to do a crowd fund campaign I decided to give it a try.
I am giving away signed prints for anyone donating $30.00 toward my crowdfund that will help me replace my camera gear.
A big thank you to those of you who have always supported my art, commented on my images and thank you ahead of time for your donations.
Items I will be replacing:
( New camera body, lens, & camera bag )
You can view my images and choose any image you'd like. Just send me a link to the image, or take a screenshot of the image & email it to me at [email redacted] you can also use facebook or Instagram to message me directly.
