Raising Money for the new Canon 5D Mark II

Posted by jonathan at 9:01am EST on 01/27/2009

I am writing this post because I am trying to raise enough money in the next month to get a new camera before SXSW. That leaves me about a month to raise the money.

I can’t achieve this goal without your help.

I do run ads on this site, but they don’t nearly come even close to paying the bills. That’s what I’m depending on the community to help.

I love photography, but the camera I have is very old. I have a Canon Digital Rebel, one of the first models they made of the DSLR line. I bought this camera already-used three years ago, so I have had it a long time.

I do photography for the tech community simply because I love photography, I have never asked for money to take photos at an event in the tech community.

But it’s time to upgrade. The quality of photos are becoming sub-par because of the lack of quality in the camera body I use. So this is what I’m asking: I’m asking for you to consider a $10, $50, or even a $100 donation towards my new camera.

The new camera I am looking at getting is the Canon 5D Mark II, released just a few months ago. I am asking for your support so I can continue taking the photos that everyone loves. Please consider making a donation, I would really appreciate it.

The camera I have right now is 6.3megapixels and the new 5D Mark II is 21.1megapixels, so it would help me produce a lot higher quality of photos for the community.

As a Ginside.com reader, you think “how is this relevant to me?” A number of the photos and images I use here on Ginside.com, I have personally taken myself. So if you could consider even a small donation, I would really appreciate it. To show my appreciate, I will also include a link to a site of your choosing in the footer of this post.

Here are some photos I have taken recently at tech events.

Even a small contribution will really help me reach my goal, so please, I’m asking you, please consider a donation. Thank you for your time and I wish the best for you.

Thank you links
