Thank you Canon for helping make this happen!!!

[@naumjohn523]

Thank you too, Jared! Everything you been doing for our photographer community around the world are amazing! - Your fan from Brazil

[@RevJorgeDiaz]

This is AMAZING. Love that you’re pouring into the next generation of photographers/videographers alongside Canon. 🎉

[@paulstephen2201]

Would like to see some of his work. Great job Jared!

[@matteugenio]

One reason why I love Canon 🥺

[@hindermath]

I am also a Canon only shooter. Beginn 2014 with a 700D and upgrade to a 7D Mark II with 16-35, 24-105, 700-200 L USM all f/4, 70-200 III L USM f/2.8 and a 100-400 II L USM. Use this gear also with mount adapters on my EOS RP and R7. Works all together so well and good. I alsp can say thank you Canon for so good cameras and L glas. Also have Canon 10x42 L binocular. I shooting wildlife so that is a great stuff to do this advanced hobby stuff.

[@JeffBlount]

I want to give a big thanks to Jared, he’s not only helped me with equipment but as well as questions I’ve had for him behind the scenes. As a young photographer this man has definitely became one of the big things that has happen to me in my life that what I feel like just made my future bright. Things like this is what motivates a young photographer to go harder in his craft‼️Thanks again Jared🙏🏾

[@seanwilliams8833]

Good luck in your future Jeff!

I am so happy for you Jeff! Seeing your face at Allen's Camera when the surprise was revealed to you made my day. Keep making Truman proud!

[@charanis]

Mentors are magic That’s worth more than the camera. Keep in touch with him and give back by doing good work. He will be honest and help you grow.

[@tonysargent1168]

Jeff, that camera is awesome, you will enjoy every moment of getting to know it. Young guys like you are also motivating in the obvious passion you have for your photography, go smash it young man!

[@techhead976]

Big shoutout to Jared for even having this happen, He changed his life for sure.

[@socratesvela8285]

Jared is always trying to be good. I will never forget when he gave two of his courses for free during the beginning of the pandemic. It was his way to give back and inspire. Obviously very creative and he is sharing God's gifts with all of us.

[@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse]

@@techhead976 lil buddy dint even seem grateful…🤷🏿‍♂️😔

[@shotbyshomari]

And WTH don't more camera companies do this!? Lenses off to you Jared👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@philfyphil]

They probably do!

[@FollowTheJohn]

I agree. None of the companies I have contacted would help provide older USED and outdated cameras to the children I work with. We are a non-profit but they never respond. 8-(

[@Kmaster2007]

Because the Nikon would break and the Sony is too expensive for them to loose money on 😁

[@shotbyshomari]

@@FollowTheJohn very true for Nikon they would offer refurbished and “discounted” before giving away equipment. I hope I’m mistaken though

[@shotbyshomari]

Kid got hooked up REAL nice. Well done, Jared!

[@mftran]

This is what every kid needs. Someone who believes in them and is willing to give them just that little help to chase their dreams.

[@mitchellwilliams6175]

I would say with that set up, that's a lot of help, I'm still paying for my 1DX Mark 2 ( got it on finance for 3 years) The lenses are perfect for him as a sports Shooter too. What a gift!!! Thanks Jared and Canon for offering this to the younger generation and giving them such a kick-start. Bravo

[@JeffBlount]

Comment of the day man👏🏾👏🏾thank you!!

[@balec8861]

This is how it should be the community around you supporting each other not looking to have the government step in.

[@jamessaxon3859]

That is a great program you have established to help young photographers. Thanks you Canon for the support of the program.

[@davidkipperman5218]

I had a nationally known photographer and a camera store help get my career going similar to what you are doing 43 years ago. I love what I do and it never feels like a job. If you help just one person get to where they want to go you have succeeded. Congrats on a great idea and thanks Canon!

[@kyleanderson2415]

Man as somebody who definitely spent his younger years fucking around and being an idiot a gesture like what you offered that young man can save peoples lives, especially in Philly. Great work fro

[@kb4356]

Thank you so much Jeff has gone on to do so many great things with what you’ve Blessed him with, we are forever grateful Jared and Canon 🙌🏾🙏🏾 Jeffrey has recently won The Robert Mendelsohn Gold Legacy Photography Award🙌🏾🙏🏾Capturing Lives through a Lens. Thank you God for Amazing People 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@dreadnoughtphotowerkz]

Hey this is Goose with Dreadnought Photo Werkz. I just wanted to say that I greatly appreciate what you do for these young and up and coming photographers. I'm a true fan of your page. I don't always agree with everything you put out, but when I see something like this, it makes it all worthwhile. The fact that you go out of your way with the manufacturers from Canon to make something like this happen is absolutely outstanding. Not everyone agrees with you on some of your KZbin comments, but that's just the business, and I get it. Making sure the love of photography is passed on and staying alive through your efforts with different manufacturers is absolutely, once again outstanding. You're greatly appreciated throughout the photography world if no one's told you that. Just keep up the great work.

[@tomsviewphotographyadventu2514]

Even if the audio was missing.. that smile at the end .... so worth it! Thank you Canon and Jared, and that young man's teachers for conspiring to make this happen!

[@IanMachariaianmacharia]

Thank you jared for changing that's kids life...God bless you

[@apbassman]

A friends father of mine gifted me an OG 24-70 2.8 and an OG 70-200 F4. It’s life changing for some people to have these moments of charity to help expand their hobby and or career. Even 25 year old glass is an insane upgrade for so many and can’t be understated with how much it will impact them. 10/10 this kids life is changed and I love to see this. Thank you for sharing the love to others between Canon and yourself. Cheers.

[@chriskoran836]

Great job, Jared. This is the reason I follow your content. You make an impact on all your followers indirectly and then go and change this young man’s life directly! Awesome!!!

[@donaldjones2106]

Wow! What more can I say? You are helping someone because you can. When I mentioned your name to my wife. She say isn't that the one that has shirts that have on it " I shoot raw." That was very nice. Great PR idea. I am in my late 70's and your brought a tear to my eye.

[@TheRBYiv]

And here I felt silly because I was getting choked up over this. Awesome work both you and Canon!

[@tonymash59]

I love the young man's smile, and I noticed the way he handled the camera body with care. I wish him the Best of Luck. Thanks to Canon and Jared thanks for helping out our profession.

for Jared as the medium, so much tx for making a new photographer life less burden and this happen few times already. You are the man! For Canon USA, they not only maintain brand with highest level emotional bound, for sure will be resonate forever. No matter how great other brand make in the future, the stamp CANON already engraved in this young man's heart. Winning heart over choices is a deeper branding strategy. A very very good one.

[@johnburnsdp]

Amazon job Jared and Canon. I gained interest in photography when I was 14 or so because a sports photographer had the kindness to answer my questions about his gear (which, coincidentally, was a 1DX Mark II). He easily could have ignored me, but instead recognized my interest and I left inspired. I now run a full-time production company. Generosity with time, gear, enthusiasm-all of it matters, regardless of scale. Thanks for working to make an impact on tomorrow's photographers.
