Well, I have thought about this for a couple days now, read the post and all the replies. Lots of good replies and people who could use this.
I have a biblical principle and idea, at the end of this post in addition to try and add value.
I will keep it short, you know I can type a book for a reply @papa-pepper.
I could really USE this camera and it would help me.
You know what I am dealing with accident wise and injury wise here and I cannot go buy one of these but have been wanting one for awhile.
I do not have a good camera. The phone I was using was damaged when the car ran me over as you know and you have already helped me.
That is the main reason I did not reply to this til now.
My bank accts have all been closed because I could not pay the bills, after the car ran me over, so there is no way for me to physically go and try to buy one. It is poverty level living for me and Steemit is the only thing I can do and have to treat it like a savings account for now, but I still donate to help people.
My offer to you, because you live your Steemit life helping others, and on contests like this is to apply a biblical principle of MULTIPLICATION here and offer to run a contest with you, to help even more people, should you choose me as the winner.
Then we have the chance together, to help MULTIPLE people with some SBD giveaways or votes or something else we can work out together - but using the biblical principle noted there above.
I am just so limited living the way I am forced to right now, it would help me a lot and we can help others, together, you and I.
Thanks for the chance. This way someone will get a camera who needs it with limits....... but it will be guaranteed that several more will actually get SOMETHING out of this, if I am chosen.
I think it fits the way you look at things and try to be inclusive and mindful.
-- sincerely, Barry
I personally do not need this camera, my cell phone has just as many MP. My buddy Barry here wants it so bad though he woke me up from a nap so I could comment.
LOL.
Thanks my man, the support is appreciated.
I'd love to see a competition by Papa and Baz. Please consider Barry, @papa-pepper, to win this competition as it would be a lovely thing to happen to him in a rough time.
Hey, thanks @hopehuggs, that is great of you today!
I'd like to see Barry win this camera for many reasons.. But to sum it up dude is AWESOME!
Thanks papa-pepper for this rad giveaway. <3
@klye -- thanks a lot my man, it means a lot to me you took time to comment here.
Would love it if you won :)
Aw, thank you for the support my Liberty Minded Legend. It will help me appear talented but not like you, who has been blessed with real talent LOL.
We are lucky to have you.
#FreeRoss
Omg YES
Thanks Sommer!
I would enter for the camera myself but other than the random shot here or there it would go to waste. Besides I would not even know what to do with such a fancy one such as this!
In the event my entry is picked please contact @barrydutton for a mailing address. I would much rather see it go somewhere it would be used.
I would love to see more Canadian photos! Not saying they all has to be of: talking moose, bacon, real maple syrup, and pizza. I would be ok with the random photos of some outdoors as well!
Thanks buddy. You make the best comments and always make me laugh.
Some days, that is a real gift to me @enjar.
Thanks for that.
Here is my official post I just made for it also: I stated there were many good replies and needs.
https://steemit.com/photography/@barrydutton/well-here-is-my-post-to-win-this-sweet-camera-which-i-could-really-use-in-a-contest-by-our-friend-papa-pepper-likely-many-of-us
If there's anyone I know who deserves this it's @barrydutton - he's always been so kind and generous with his time and efforts! Let's keep the positive vibes flowing...give to those who give back. :)
Thanks Sommer, I try and fail a lot of days but I do try.
Thank you sister!!!
Geez Barry, I'm so sorry for what you are going through; you totally deserve this camera! @papa-pepper I would love the camera but if I win, it's going straight to @barrydutton. Cheers to you guys and cheers to steemit:)
Thank you Lynn.
I am honestly not sure we have spoken on here so to see a new name to me, saying such things, is really quite a blessing.
Thank you for the well wishes Lynn, it is very nice!!
Oh you are so welcome! We have 'talked' briefly a couple of times (the one I remember was your post on getting steem on Binance. But mostly my intention to help you here was because you obviously could use it:) and I have been helped by so many people I hardly know on here that I just wanted to pay it forward. People helping people... that's my thing! Cheers!
Barry, you have shown me so much support in Steemit it has made my experience so much better. So I want to thank you and I hope you will win this camera.
I always remember I had help when I was new..... and when I was not. I have lost a lot of support along the way due to politics but I was so lost here when I joined LOL, and I hated that feeling. I talk about it on my blogs all the time.
I would like to pay it forward in lots of ways when i can despite my challenges in life now. I try to show that in this post too, and the replies below, as well as my daily Steemit life.
I fail a lot of days but I try.
I work first hand right in the dredges of healthcare. In physical therapy it's different and I can really help people otherwise people are treated as dollar signs and I definitely think Barry should get this camera
Thanks Chelsea. I have really enjoyed our chats here. Not many truly know what this is like for people who have been thru a trauma like this that affects you every day. I know you get it.
Camera Camera Camera Camera - By far chillest post I have read so far on Steemit. I did not come here looking to get a free camera, but quite a nice and positive way to end my day by reading this post. That being said, my friend Barry seems to REALLY want it. All tho you want nothing, a certain obligation to display the first photoshoot would be my minimum if "I" was giving away my old camera, but that's just me. Even tho after reading this post I kinda really want the camera, I would probably use a it a few days then ship it off to Barry, I would have not even known about this post if it wasn't for him.
Thanks dude! You live closer to me than anyone here pretty much so I hope it would ship with a pizza LOL
I could include some powder poutine sauce lol
Of course LOL!
A smile on a tough day for me, it is a gift. Thank you again @yassine
I was about to comment so I can have an entry for myself but I chose not to. It's not that I don't need one, it's just that you need it more. God bless to you and I hope you'll win.
Thank you so much. This post and reply section is full of good needs and good wishes to and from many Steemians in need of help and those who support them. I like to see it.
Blessings.
Best of luck Barry! I wish you all the best!
Thank you!
I hope you win... you're always looking out for the new commers
That is super of you to say!!! Thanks so much.
I think Barry truly deserves to win this. After all he has been through recently he still is thinking about the people of Steemit...
Thanks so much Lucy. And Dan.
LOL
Good luck!
Thanks a lot Mamma!!
I'm not sure how this all works and if there's a vote or what not, but if I have a vote. I vote for barrydutton. He's one of my favorite people here on steemit and sounds like he's been through a lot of hardship and could really use it! Plus he wants to also help others on top of that despite being in such a difficult position.. SO yeah.. As I said.. Not totally sure how the contest works, but barry has my vote!
@apolymask that is nice to hear, it means a lot to me.
Thank you man, very much.
You're welcome. All the best to you and I hope you win the camera! ._.
If there's anyone I know who deserves this it's @barrydutton - he's always been so kind and generous with his time and efforts! Let's keep the positive vibes flowing...give to those who give back. :)
@papapepper this entry for the camera is not for me but for my friend @barrydutton. He is a great and caring steemian and a good human being. I hope that this camera can be used for his new travels when he gets better and keeping the politicians in our city east of Toronto more honest.
Well, we see what the STATE and the police and others do, when I have tried that since 2010 for years and years eh?

You are too kind @boodles17 and on a week where your mom has passed.
Not to dox you and hope you do not mind but you have taken time for me in a rough patch.
Blessings on a tough week for both of us.
One vote for you my friend! Best of luck. If I win it then its yours! I don't need it!
Thanks buddy!!!
It is 2 yrs last week I was run over leaving the woods on that hike that day, on the sidewalk coming home and life changed. Our mutual love of the offgrid/bushcraft life will link us forever man.
Have a good weekend.
Hi Barry. I already sent my comment wanting the camera, before I read your article about how much you want it and why. Now, I am praying that you win... you need (for good cause)more than we do. I wish you well and whatever you've been dealing with, I pray to God to heal you and give you strength to carry on. Keep your faith my friend. God is good all the time. God will make a way. I followed you already and I am looking forward of seeing your articles. I am a newbie in this platform, however people here have been supportive to me and I am grateful. Thank you Steemit/Steemians. Stay strong Barry. Cheers!
I run the Steemit 101 Series here so if you search out my name + that # or name spelled a couple ways you will find some things. Go back a few days on my blog, to find the last episode that is out. Nearly a week if I recall.
Thanks for taking time to comment or vote for me, it is nice of you, my life is not easy, every bit helps. I've been wondering where Jesus was the day I was run over and openly talking about it finally.
Thanks for the prayers and the blessings, I need it and I know it.
No worries my friend. Whoever ran you over, im sure he'll pay what he deserves. Just keep the faith. You'll see one day...things will work for you the way it should be. See you around my friend. Take care of yourself. God bless you! Thank you also for taking the time of replying to me.
I want to win this camera for @barrydutton, and if I win send it to @barrydutton. ( I don't need one)
So many new people to me commenting nice things like this, it is really encouraging to me!!
Thank you so much.
I follow @apolymask, and saw the contest post and he mentioned your situation without details. So I do not need one (camera), but you do, a few words is nothing when it comes to auto accidents, and hospital stays, and nobody wanting to help. I know from personal experience how much a 10 day stay in a hospital is, I imagine you were in one for a bit also. One simple word for a chance to help someone, I hope more people throw it your way, after all he (papa-pepper) did say anyone anywhere, any reason, just comment one word camera, and you are entered.Simple. Have a nice evening, and I hope you are doing better.
Keeping this short, as I already posted way down below, but I wanted to make certain that @papa-pepper saw that, although I would truly love a camera of this calibre, I am donating my chance to @barrydutton, because his current need far outweighs my own.
Blessing and peace to everyone here! ;-)
Amazing...
So many new people to me commenting nice things like this, it is really encouraging to me!!
Thank you so much.
You're most welcome, Barry!
I've been hit in the past by an inattentive driver, and although I wasn't injured nearly as badly, I can still relate to how much fun it isn't.
I also lucked out in a big way, because the other driver took responsibility on the spot, which meant that his insurance company paid for my chiropractic care and massage therapy for a full year, which meant that when all was said and done, I wound up in far better physician shape than I was BEFORE my accident.
I wish you the same results in your recovery. May you emerge healthier, stronger and more physically fit, than you were before you were hit. With God all things are possible.
Sending you blessings and a whole lot of healing energy, and I sincerely hope that you win the camera! Looking forward to seeing your photos once you do!
Some encouragement here in this reply @crescendoofpeace....
Thank you. Again.
You're welcome.
Of course, that was supposed to read *physical shape, but hey . . . that's what I get for posting in the wee hours. ;-)
