Signal Boost

I have a friend who's a damn good photographer, and she's trying to fund a trip to Japan with Kickstarter that will result in a photobook. She has formally studied Japanese, hosted an exchange student, and taken pictures of Japanese events and stores in her area (although her interests certainly aren't limited to that). She does not charge for access to most of her work and permits it to be distributed online without restrictions. However, getting money for this book will determine whether she can afford to create it. If you can, please help an artist out.
