If you haven’t read it already, here’s a tale of woe from a fine rock ‘n roll photographer Nic Bezzina.
I don’t know Nic personally, however his story put a shot through my loins.

Long story short – through a double hard drive failure and dodgy recovery software, he lost every photo he’s taken, his entire career gone in one evening.

He now faces a $5000 data recovery bill.
Try and imagine what that feels like..

Here’s the deal: go to his site. Donate some dough. He’s already offering some pretty sweet deals on donations.

I’m kicking in some extra.

For the first ten people that donate any amount over $100, next time you and I are both in Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia, I will shoot your portrait. Your family’s portrait, your dog’s portrait, whatever. A photo of you and your best mate – it doesn’t matter.

Here’s how you do it.

Go to http://nicbezzina.com
donate some cash over $100.

When the paypal email receipt (or receipts!) comes through, delete your private address info and forward the rest of the email to justring3624360 at yahoo dot com

We’ll then work out a time for us to meet, and I will spend an hour or two shooting your photos. I’ll make you look great. I’ll even digitally remove your love handles like the nice publicists do for me.

Go on. Charity begins with those in your community. He’s a hard working guy who lives among us and needs a hand right now. It will make you feel good today, and when your friends and family see the photos, you’ll have a feel-good story to tell for years.

How much do you normally pay for family photos? This is a no-brainer.

C’mon. It’s five clicks from here. Do it. -> http://nicbezzina.com
