"I got an Olympus Zuiko 50mm 1.8 that had an enormous spot of fungus right in the center, and didn't feel like disassembling it. So I had the idea of soaking a few cotton balls in 70% isopropyl alcohol and sticking them in a plastic bag exposed to a black light for UV radiation for a week. Lo and behold, a week later almost all of the fungus is gone and looks like it was never there!"

On Black Friday and Giving Tuesday, I decided to give out some discounts like everybody else. Instead of a gigantic door-buster discount, though, I chose to give a 15% discount AND donate 10% of proceeds to Toys For Tots Foundation (read about that here).

With your help we were able to raise some money and today I'm proud to say that WE (as in myself and everybody who helped) made a donation to Toys for Tots. It's not a gigantic number, but it is a number that might help a few less-fortunate kids through what can be tough holidays. Hopefully, with your help, that number can grow in the future.

Thank you to everyone who helped.

I plan to keep the promotions going to help out more charities in the future.

First of all: Thank you to everyone reading this. This project would not exist or continue without your support. With the holiday season fast approaching, I hope we can all take a minute, take a breather, and appreciate the awesome things around us.

I know your inbox and social feeds are flooded with crazy Black Friday savings right now, so I won't bludgeon you over the head with over-the-top sales copy.

I do want to offer everyone a chance to grab some patches and stickers and show off some film love and save some cash while doing it, so let's cut to the chase. This coupon code is good through Tuesday, December 1st, and will get you 15% off your whole order. Use it as many times as you wish on as many items as you wish.
 

I know that's not a gigantic discount. Well, here's why: Instead of giving you a whopper of a discount, I'm going to donate 10% of all proceeds from every order using this coupon code between right now and Tuesday, December 1st to Toys For Tots.

I have two kids of my own and we live a comfortable life. My kids enjoy amazing family time and are never lacking toys that aid in learning and give them some amount of happiness and comfort. Don't get me wrong, we're not rich--I will be rocking out to Journey in my "06 Nissan Sentra for the foreseeable future (holy crap, I'm realizing that my car is 10 years old as I'm writing this). But I believe other kids who are less fortunate should have the same chance to experience the happiness that my kids do. Your help in supporting this worthy cause is much appreciated by the kids who benefit from this charity.
