"james" wrote in message hlink.net...
Well Cory, considering that you asked on a public forum for people to donate expensive equipment, you could have done exactly as I suggested (if your cause was legitmate) and supplied the information, in the forum. You didn't exactly supply anything approaching useful information that would make someone want to contact you and donate anything. You could have easily said: Hi, my name is Cory Kittle and I am stationed at: ________ Military Post, and there is a Youth Shelter in: ___________ nearby, where I have volunteered to help. The ________ Youth Shelter is run by: __________ he/she is the Director. Here is how to contact him/her. _________________-(would prove you're not a scammer) You get the picture. In other words, you did not make a good first impression and made your post look more like a scam than a legitimate charity. As for me, I don't go online and brag about my "worthwhile" endeavors. I just do what I can. Besides, I am not the person that is asking people to donate expensive photography equipment without even supplying enough information to help anyone wanting to or thinking about, donating said equipment. So, grow up, quite being so full of yourself and be upfront about the situation. james (or did we hit the nail on the head and you are just someone trying to get some free equipment for yourself?) "OutdoorPhoto" wrote in message ... Thanks guys, you are true gems of society! If you are interested in helping out let me know and I will supply you with all you information you need. If not, I sincerely hope you make something of yourself someday. Just curious if you have ever done anything worthwhile in your life. I doubt it! Cory "james" wrote in message link.net... ugh,,,,,,,,,,the "james Charity" needs some of those old "L" lenses!! In fact I'll take the whole lot off your hands!! (of course you will pay for shipping by Overnite Express FEDEX,,,,,,,,,right?) james :-) "Can" wrote in message om... I have 5-10D's and a few old 1D's that you can have. Please respond quickly as trash day is Monday. Also, I know you were looking for inexpensive lenses but will you take my "L" lenses off my hands? I'm not sure what to do with them. The man is all grown up and his phone number is on his website for all to see. Why not just call him directly instead of trashing him beforehand? |

You forgot one: #6..someone steps in educating the masses on the newsgroup mentatity as well as the military and mankind in general. Can't wait for your book to come out. Thanks.

Well meaning individual trys to answer the question, and he may be right or wrong. 3. 5 guys tell the guy offering an answer to original question that he is some sort of mental defective. 4. 8-10 guys have a ****ing contest as to who has the biggest camera, best resolution, most understanding of technology etc. 5. 20 guys lay claim as ****ing contest champion. Most of the posters are civilians and behind the anonimity of their posts many don't live up to common military traits such as adherence to codes of conduct, discretion, courtesy, honor, trust etc. You are doing a good thing, good luck to you. If most of these people on the board had been subjected to the draft as young people for example, they would still be cautious, but cautious without "attitude". It's the culture man and man is a herd animal. |

It's the culture man and man is a herd animal. Excuse me. Man is a collection of 6 plus billion people all ignoring what the others are doing. One person watched TV last night and the other 5,999,999,999 each did something different. Note I said MOST of the threads, not ALL. Further, note I said "many don't live up to common military traits.....", not ALL. You will have to excuse me as I was trained by a person in posession of a CMOH. Did it ever occur to you that all the people who trashed this man could have picked up the phone and CALLED HIM DIRECTLY? Those people spwed attitude before doing anything else. I received a very polite email from him by the way. As for my book, I'll send you an autographed copy. |

Hate to bust everyone's bubble, but if you did a search for "Cory Kittle"
on the net you would find a well respected photgrapher who has to much to lose by scamming the public out of obsolete equipment as you suggest. I know Cory from Photomigrations.com and other high profile nature photography boards. He is well liked,trusted and respected among his peers. Cory has let us know on the forums that due to the war on terror he is back in the US Military and not able to particapate as much as in the past. What a shame you could not just do a quick search, see what he was all about and then confirm it through private email. In my experence those who trust the least are to trusted least. My name is James Shadle I live in Valrico, Florida My URL is www.wildflorida.net My email is I hope this is enough contact info to satisfy everone. "OutdoorPhoto" wrote in message ... Hello, I am about to embark on a new challenge and I desperately need some help. There is a local troubled youth shelter that I have recently volunteered my time at to teach the problem kids digital photography. My plan is to help keep them off the streets and out of gangs, and hopefully help them look at the world in a different light. We have decided on digital to keep the costs and time down and to utilize computer equipment and printers already at the shelter. Not to mention the instant feedback that will keep them interested in it more. I think photography is the perfect tool to really change these kids lives and alot of the shelter employee's and volunteer's are in agreement with me. I have purchased and donated several of my own canon eos lower end lenses and have also recieved some from an estate but we are in desperate need of bodies and a few more lenses. I am tapped right now as I am in the US Military for my full time job and I have been a volunteer at the shelter off and on for several years now. I am looking for at least 3-4 bodies and a few more inexpensive lenses in the wide angle to medium telephoto range. It definitely doesnt have to be state of the art stuff to make this program work, that is why I am looking for older digital bodies. I would like to stick with SLR's for the most part since we already have the lenses and one of the goals is to work with a local wildlife park to get the kids to interact with the animals. I think an slr with some decent telephoto zooms will work best for that. If you have an old D30 or D60 you are thinking about getting rid of and would like to really make a difference supporting this worthy cause, please e-mail me at . Even if you cant fully donate it, I may be able to scrounge a little money up to buy one or two really cheap if we can get a couple others donated. Thanks for at least looking and god bless! |

Well, I hate to bust your bubble too, but, if Corry Kittle were such a well
respected photographer then why didn't he just give more detailed information on his cause from the very beginning. Such as the name of the shelter and some way to independently verify who he is and the validity of the charity he said he was working with? There are way too many scams and scammers on the net to just take someone's word for it these days. It is too easy to hijack someone's good name and use it to other ends. By the way, did those people who know Cory from Photomigrations.com and other "high profile nature photography boards" donate any equipment? How about a link to the forums on those High Profile Nature Photography boards so that people can see the results of YOUR generosity and that of others? And in "my experience" those that trust the least loose the least. It does not mean that an untrusting person is untrustworthy. It means that they are cautious from past experience. You get burned a few times and you will change your attitude. james (someone who PUBLICLY asked questions that Cory Kittle never PUBLICLY answered) "D1X Shooter" wrote in message ...

I just did a search on Photo Migrations forums and there are exactly TWO
posts originated by Cory Kittle and neither one mentions his charity or it needing used equipment. Kind of strange considering it would seem normal to mention something this important to him in a familiar forum where those that trust and respect him would be the most likely to respond favorably to a request such as the one he posted here several months ago. james "D1X Shooter" wrote in message ...

And doing a GOOGLE SEARCH as you suggest and looking to see if he ever
posted a request for used equipment to help the troubled youth shelter where he volunteers, anywhere else........returned exactly NOTHING. There are 71 hits doing a Google Search for "Cory Kittle", but again, nothing even remotely mentioning this charity and it's need, other than the post he originally made here on rec.photo.marketplace.digital group. So, my question remains, IF this was a legitmate request by CORY KITTLE and not some name hijacker, then why is his request not mentioned elsewhere????? And why did he not give the requested information up front? A legitmate charity would have no problems answering the questions asked. And he never answered my questions to him in my original response or any made afterwards. His only response was ridicule. So, get off your high horse and make sure YOU know what you are talking about before defending him. (if indeed it really was Cory Kittle in the first place) james "D1X Shooter" wrote in message ...
