Im posting this trying to support someone that contributed a lot to OSM via his street level imagery, either being on Mapillary or OpenStreetCam for others to map on OSM. If you could donate, to help him repair his vehicle to get back on photo mapping, go to his GoFundMe page

Heres the story:

My name is JB Brown. Online I am often known as JBTHEMILKER. I have become something of a legend in the digital mapping world. In just over a year of contributing to Mapillary I became their top worldwide contributor with 8.3 million images and 146 million meters mapped. Mapillary account

I’m also #2 (I was #1 For a while) on the Openstreetcam app I’ve contributed 1.2 million images in less than 4 months and mapped 22,400 miles for them. All this has been done at my own expense.

I’m a retired, disabled firefighter. For the last 5 years I’ve been serving the Amish of Ohio by hauling families when their trips were longer than they can go with a horse and buggy. My van had nearly 400,000 miles on it. Recently the repairs out did what I was bringing in. Then in Wisconsin the transmission went. I ended up giving what was left of my beloved van to the firm who towed it up in Wisconsin. The other side of who I have become is the mapping photography I’ve been doing. Back when Google Earth was accepting pictures I was among the top contributors in this country. When Google pulled the plug on Earth I started contributing to Mapillary and later to Open Street Cam, both are firms that are working to gather digital data to improve our digital maps. I am the top contributor worldwide on botth these sites or I was until my van broke down on Christmas eve. I’m asking for contributions now, just as I have given freely in order that I might continue to serve those who have come to depend on me, those who I enjoy serving.
