This isn’t something I normally do, but desperate times call for desperate measures. My wife’s camera has died and we need to get a replacement, and QUICK. As anyone who visits my site knows, I heavily rely on a camera for pictures, reviews, dio-stories…well, just about everything I can possibly do for the site I need a camera to do it. And of course, I’m coming up on deadlines for finishing dio comics for the Collectors’ Club newsletter (not to mention Ghosts!)
This all comes at a terrible time for us as well, as we have a lot of house-related bills that all fall into place in September/October, so I’m looking to my faithful readers for help. As I said, this isn’t something I normally do, and don’t expect me to do this continually, but in this case I need to make an exception, because I have to get my camera upgraded ASAP.
I know what I want… a Fujifilm FinePix s1000fd. They retail for a little over $250.00, which is pretty darn reasonable for what would be a pretty hefty upgrade for my camera. The end result would be better pictures for everyone. 🙂
If you have a few spare bucks you wouldn’t mind kicking in so I can get this new camera and get these projects done, I would be infinitely grateful. I am constantly asked what people can do to help the site…now’s your chance. 😉 The Donate link is right over on the left hand sidebar, and I will keep everyone posted as progress gets made (if progress gets made. :shifty: ). I know times are tough for everyone these days, and I apologize if this offends anyone.
As I said, don’t expect this to be a regular occurrence, but this is an exception I feel compelled to make. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
I don’t know…
What if you go spend all that money at the arcade.
If I donate some money, whats in it for me.
More reviews…. because they are a bit behind you know….
I wont be able to see the ClubNewsLetter dio anymore… my membership expired two weeks ago and Im not renewing at the moment.
So what can I expect….?!?
(where are the smilies for here I need to put the smilies!)
Im messing with you, Justin, giving you a hard time. I’ll donate what I can.
Carlos, man, that is so cool of you, thanks. You’ve helped me a ton already, this is very much appreciated.
I don’t get a chance to post many comments on the related Joe Boards, but I do “lurk” almost daily and really look forward to your reviews, the dios for the GIJCC and Joe Canuck, and appreciate the quality pics shown from the various conventions.
I’m sure there are a lot of fans that appreciate your efforts. Keep up the great work.
I can afford a couple of bucks to a project that helped me rediscover joes back in 2003. I have gotten many years of enjoyment from this site. Thanks.
If you want a loaner camera for a bit, let me know.
Wow, guys, thanks. I can’t tell you how much this helps. Thank you SO much.
Sent a few sheckles over. I think with your *free* contributions to the Joe collecting community over the years, we can all throw in something to help it continue.
I’m military retired/disabled, and I get paid on the first. I had a tight month this pay period (3 kids and me and my wife are students) but I’ll toss a few bones your way asap. Also, I started a thread over on Joe-dios. Hope you don’t mind, just wanna help a fellow Joe.
John and Doug, thanks very much, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support. Doug, please make sure you take care of yourself before you worry about me. 😉 I greatly appreciate the post on JoeDios, that is more than enough!
Mission DONATE: accomplished
whatever i might say, you are a staple of our little internet gi joe fan thing. oorah, yo joe, go brewers, olympia: it’s the water.
Justin, I´ve donated 10 bucks, and I hope you reach the total amount very soon…all readers are missing the reviews and dio-stories.
You guys are all KICKING ASS. I don’t know how to thank everyone. Rest assured, when I can get the new camera, I’ll make sure to get some great pics for everyone.
Maybe I’ll even take some requests. 😉
Well, there goes buying another Storm Shadow repaint…
No, just kidding!
I was looking at that camera, too. Within the last few days, they dropped to $212, here.
lobo, thanks very much for the info! I did some looking around and found one locally for cheaper than online. Am adjusting the “goal” accordingly. Thanks!
