I also have a print. There is one thing that if you can't help finacially I know Jorge loves good (non romance) novels in paperback. If you have any sitting around that you are done with, I'm sure that the reading will help him pass the time he has while getting therapy. I know he recently moved so maybe a new address would help too.

I am very sorry to hear about this and I know Jorge will be in the thoughts and prayers of myself and everyone here. I don't know of a person with a greater passion for photography than Jorge. I will send something by Paypal.

Kind Regards,
John

Jorge,

I wish you a speedy recovery, and hope you get well very soon.

I've sent in a small contribution to your Paypal account which I hope will help towards paying the bills.

Thanks to Aggie for posting this message, and to Sean for posting the Paypal a/c info and the gallery info.

Best wishes,

Jorge, my friend...I call you friend because since I first came to APUG you have inspired and helped me be a better photographer. Your knowledge and wit have always been shared most freely...have never had the chance to meet you in person, but I feel we could sit down and enjoy a good conversation ..... This news leaves me shaken, yet I understand somehow. Take the good thoughts and prayers from everyone...they come from the heart. YOU ARE IMPORTANT to us, and the best medicine in the world comes from within...if there is anything we can do, please let us know. Paper/chemistry...someone to yell at, or someone to talk with..you just let us know, we want you to get better.....

Sean, Bless you and Aggie (and all who have responded) - this is WHY, we all keep coming back to this site. Donation sent, small payment for the 2 prints I already own of Jorge's. The price was so small when I purchased them...now a chance to try and offer something closer to their real value.

I just ordered a print of Convento De La Santa Cruz, Arched Doorway. I'm glad to do what I can to help, and I can't wait to see the finished print (No hurry Jorge, just eager to see an actual example of your fine work!).

Hey Jorge,

I enjoy your posts and am totally impressed by your vision and skill. APUG is a community to me, and you are one of the pillars.

Please accept a small token gift. It isn't easy to accept, but you are helping me earn some luck for some others in need.

Take care,

Matt

Hi All, another update in the main thread post:
UPDATE - Kevin Saitta http://www.kjsphotography.com
"Donating 15% to Jorge Cancer Fund from the sale of any limited edition print
from my website from now until the end of May."

Thanks Kevin!

I would also like to let everyone know there was a strong show of support today for Jorge with several prints being sold in the gallery. Great stuff!

fyi- Just a quick note on the gallery sales so there is no confusion. Typically funds are not released to the seller until the buyer receives the print but in this case all funds are being released to Jorge immediately. Thanks, Sean

same here on the books- I've got a few kicking around that make for good leisure-time reading. Beach reading books, as they say... Let me know an address and I'll pop a few in the mail. I need to slim down the library anyway!

Get well soon, Jorge! My thoughts are with you.

I also have several of Jorge's prints and they are lovely. I plan to make a donation of some sort soon too.

Along with others I wish Jorge all the best. Jorge and I have disagreed on many things, but I respect his knowledge of photography, and his passion for what he believes in.

Purchashing one of Jorge's prints seems a great way to not only help financially, but also to show appreciation for the artistic achievements of his work, and I plan to join with others in doing so.

Sandy
