You may noticed lately, that video clips haven’t been posted lately.
I am sitting on quite a few hours of clips, but the problem is that I don’t have the time to upload everything into the computer. Â Currently, the video recorder I use requires me to physically plug a cord into the camera and “record” the video onto the computer. Â This is very time consuming. Â For about every 30 minutes I shoot, I end up spending between and hour and an hour and a half getting the video ready, editing, uploading to YouTube and then posting on the website. Â I am also having some issues with the camera as it is almost 7 years old and has seen daily use almost constantly since it arrived.
I have toyed with putting an appeal for funds on the blog for a while now. Â Over the years, I’ve had several inquiries about assisting financially with the blog, however, I’ve always turned them down – until now. I am looking to raise up to $500 toward the purchase of a new camera.
If you would like to donate some funds toward the purchase of a new camcorder, I will happily accept your donations. Â You may use the PayPal button on the left, or this address: slp@aroundfortwayne.com. You may also contact me at that address if you would have questions, or perhaps would rather send a money order or other form of funds. Â Please note that your donations are not tax deductible.
I am also open to some sort of sponsorship if a business would like to sponsor at least half or all of the total purchase price of the new video camera. Â Please contact me at the above address so we may discuss this option further. Â I can provide traffic stats for the blog and YouTube account upon request.
