Help me elevate my Passion Flower photography.

Hello,

My name is Paulo Mendonca and I live in the beautiful Madeira Island.

Two of my biggest passions in life are growing passion flowers and photography.

One of the many reasons I love growing passion flowers is to be able to photograph their incredible flowers.

A few years ago the lens of my camera broke down beyond repair and couldn’t then replace it, so since then I have been using the phone for my photos. Because of that I have been losing the quality and the full potential that these wonderful flowers have to offer.

This loss of quality is also affecting the scientific collaborations I do regarding Passifloras.

I am creating this fundraiser because I have come to the conclusion I can no longer keep losing the out on the quality of my photos, but unfortunately it continues to be financially impossible for me to make the investment because I have been unemployed do to personal family reasons, that won’t be changing in the near future.

Our goal is to purchase a Camera, Macro Lens and a memory card.

For those that wish to help, if you ever happen to be in Madeira Island you are invited to visit me and enjoy in person my plants and flowers and maybe even try some passion fruit!

You can enjoy some of my photos at: https://www.instagram.com/mendap/

I would like to thank you for taking this little time to read about me and even bigger thank you in case you join this cause!

Best regards,

Paulo Mendonca
