The Camera Recovery Campaign

cityonthelake:

My camera kit (a Nikon D7000 and 35mm f/1.8) was stolen in a robbery. Help me raise money for a replacement so that I can continue my work.

If you’ve been wondering about the lack of updates to this blog, this is why. I started this blog as a showcase for new work on the subject of Chicago, and since my camera was stolen I have been unable to continue this body of work.

If you’ve appreciated the images I’ve published on this blog, please consider contributing.

In April 1968, General Westmoreland ordered the 1st Air Calvary to relieve the Marines at the U.S. outpost in Khe Sanh. Fleets of helicopters lifted men and artillery into the rugged hills.

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,’round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Columbia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.’s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I’m back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol’ Charlie don’t you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
