Hello, I was encouraged to create this thread by a fellow forum member...
As I'm sure most of you know, I have travelled across the entire country taking photos of both Ron and Rand, from Arizona to DC, from Indiana to Mississippi, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking photos of the Pauls. As such, I have always made do with my camera equipment, and have always been complimented on my equipment.
But lately I have been considering upgrading even further, in order to provide even better photos for you all; hopefully sharper and crisper than ever before.
With this in mind, I have started a ChipIn with the hopes that a couple people with some money, unlike me, would be able to help me out in buying a new lens for my camera. Here is the link for those willing to help me out:

The lens isn't cheap, unfortunately, (and I can link you to the lens for anyone interested) but even $10, $20, or even $100 would add up tremendously quick, and I can finally be able to fulfill my dream of having the ultimate lens...which I have dreamed about for years. I'd like to thank you all for continuing to enjoy my photos, and making these cross-country trips worth it, and possible.
I hope you will consider donating to this effort. Thank you.
P.S. For those who have never seen my photos, here is my Flickr account:

Edit: And it's actually my birthday on May 16! Please help my birthday wish come true, if you can.
