I'm glad to hear that you have insurance coverage, but I'm very sorry for the rest of what you are going through, particularly losing a friend, your home, many possessions, lost negatives, and more — and for the disaster that your entire community is facing.
Today Michael Frye shared a post about two other photographers in the area who lost everything, and he included information on how to help them out if anyone is interested. I've copied a portion of his text below:
At least two members of our landscape-photography community lived in Paradise and lost nearly everything in the fire: Cindy Hoover and Erin Babnick. Please consider helping them out by contributing to the GoFundMe campaigns that have been set up for them: Cindy's here, and Erin's here.
There are many other ways to help; here are a couple of local organizations that need contributions. You can send monetary contributions to the North Valley Community Foundation, and gift cards can be immensely helpful to people who need clothing and other basic necessities, so if you have any unused gift cards you’d like to donate you can send them here:
