As you may or may not know, I was recently in Melbourne for some gigs. While I was there, I decided to travel into the city with my Dad to go on a Painting/photography adventure.

I was pretty exhausted and lost concentration for 5 minutes amidst the general city chaos. This is all it takes to loose $2000 worth of creative equipment.

In my bag I'd packed my watercolour set that I'd been building for 10 years. It had over $1000 worth of commercial/handmade paint and brushes, as well as some sketchbooks containing pieces I've been working on recently. I also packed my new M100 camera that I'd bought as a companion to my DSLR so I can begin working as a videographer, and improve the quality of my Emerald Ruby and Twin Willows film.

I legitimately can't work without this equipment, and I'm not in a financial space to be able to replace it at the speed I need to replace it. That's why I'm solving this this only way I know how: By offering up my skills as a photographer/videographer/visual artist. 

If you have every enjoyed my work and wanted to own a piece or if you need some new photos done for whatever reason, I'll be offering these services at a reduced rate over the period of this go fund me.

The price I've set my goal at won't cover everything, but it will offset the cost of new equipment enough for me to be able to work. $1180 will fully cover the costs of the equipment. 

What the money will go towards: 

Canon M100 camera body $500

Kamlan 50mm 1.1 lens $180

Watercolour set (Paints, Pallets, Brushes, Pencils, Paper) $500
