Well, I'm sorry to say you are wrong. But, even if you weren't, Andrew is the one photographer out of those tons who will do the shoot. Everyone had their chance to put up. Now is the time to just give a little into the pot.
CG and his family are worth waaay more than the measly amount this will cost. There are times for our Walmart mentality. We all have that to some degree or other. There are times to not waste the time and effort, however, to look for the cheap way. I know what the book should look like and know that Andrew will deliver. It is worth much more to me to know it will be done right than to go cheaper and risk it.
Please, just donate and feel good about doing something special for CG's family. There are already 5 donors despite the outrage by a handful of posters who are influencing others to think it's too much to do for CG. If you and others would let people decide for themselves, we could have been further along.
Seriously, it takes sooo little from a virtual handful of forum members to help care for CG's family emotionally for the rest of their lives. My wife asked me how things were going today, and as I explained to her how much this meant to me to do this for his family I could barely fight back the tears. This is such an important thing. It's way past time to quibble.
We have $415 already. This can be done so easily if people will just put in a little. Please, please, please.
Love & Thanks!
