Help Recover Russ' Stolen Gear
Donation protected
On the evening of November 22nd, 2015 at approximately 7:00pm I was robbed outside of a restaurant at which we were eating dinner. The thieves pulled both mine and Crystal's bags from our locked vehicle. Her bag was later recovered as it didn't contain anything extremely valuable. Mine however contained all of my camera gear. I'm a professional photographer I need this stuff in order to do my job.
I make a large chunk of my income as a photographer and in a matter of seconds I lost my entire pro setup. More importantly and unrecoverable are the personal photos that were on the memory card that are priceless to me and which the thieves probably just threw away. Stolen were high-end Canon lenses and a camera body plus all sorts of miscellaneous gear like filters, flashes etc totaling approximately $6000.
It took me about three years to amass this gear and it may take me just as long to replace it with my current income. I eat, sleep and breathe photography these days and this stolen gear was my lifeblood.
Not one to ask for help easily - I do need it in this instance. In order for me to continue on my path of photographing landscapes and wildlife I need your help.
If everyone that sees this could help how they can - even if it is just $10 or $20 (everything adds up - that's the point of crowd funding, right?) I could replace my stolen camera gear.
You can also help by spreading this message around so that as many people as possible can see it. Please share this on Facebook, Twitter and send an email to your friends, family and coworkers.
If you can donate to this cause I would be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Russ Nordstrand
