At the behest of one of his regular readers Mike has set up a GoFundMe site to help with all the work that will need to get done to ressurrect his blog. Seems like a great idea!
Here's that link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-online-photographer-would-like-to-relaunch
I have no connection to the fundraiser or the TOP blog other than that I consider Mike to be a long time friend and a great writer. I wish him continued success and a quick restart to his world famous blog.
Kirk, thanks for posting these updates from Mike.
ReplyDeleteI would also have donated, but it was already over by the time I got there. Well done to those who helped out.
ReplyDeleteAlso saw that that GoFundMe was closed, after raising a little bit over $8,000. It was heartening to see bunches of people were donating over $100.

Thank you so VERY much for passing along these updates, Kirk!
ReplyDeleteAnd to, Mike, our dear friend, keep on hanging in there! Absolutely thrilled to see the GoFundMe success, though quite disappointed I didn't discover it until it was closed. Don't forget frequent visits to the pool shed, your meetings, taking walks, and snapping the occasional picture or two (or possibly even three! ;-) I'm quite certain that a good number of your regular readers follow you on Flickr, too.
Keep strong! We love you, Brother,
Longtime reader in the Shenandoah Valley
I missed the GoFundMe window ... oops. I think I first discovered VSL at TOP, a guest post over there long ago IIRC.
