Kelly Luttrell's New Camera Fund

My name is Kelly Christopher Luttrell. I am a local, Metro Detroit Photographer based out of Wyandotte, MI. I very much enjoy capturing the beauty I see in the world and sharing it freely with as many people as I can. I do alot of work solely for the joy of doing it...and showing it to other people. I like the medium of Photography because it connects me with the world, it engages me. As of recently, both of my cameras have stopped working, and unfortnately, it would take just about as much to replace them as it would to fix them...which just doesn't make sense. With that being the case, it has forced my hand to attempt to upgrade. Being a man who lives very simply and without much money, this task is even more difficult. Several people have suggested I start a crowd fund because so many people enjoy looking at my art...and, with some hesitation, that's what I have decided to do. Now, if I didn't share as much of my work as freely as I do and as often as I do, I wouldn't even consider this...I choose to look at this as "putting out the tip jar/hat" so-to-speak. That being said, if you feel like you would like to throw a few bucks into the hat, I would absolutely love and appreciate that! If you'd like to share and repost this so others can also, well, that would be amazing. I have set a limit of $2000 for this campaign...I know that is a sizeable amount of money, but with that amount of funds, I would be able to purchase a full sensor DSLR camera that would be a cutting edge piece of gear, and most likely, the last camera I would ever have to buy. The quality of the images I share quite frequently would also drastically improve.
