This loan is a repost. 
I have lowered my loan amount to $5500.00.  I have found all the equipment slightly used from a local.  The nice thing about this equipment is that it is all professional; after I looked at it I could see that it has not been punished or abused.  I would like to thank everyone who bid on my original loan amount.
Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to purchase: new studio equipment and a professional multi page website.  I already have some studio lights, camera and lenses (All Professional Level).
The equipment I plan to buy is as follows:
1-Sekonic L358 Light/Flash Meter With Transmitter for Pocket Wizard radio slave
3-Norman ML600 600 W/S Monolight Built-in Pocket Wizard Receiver
1-Quantum Turbo Battery Portable power pack With power cords for Canon
3-Manfrotto lighting stands
1-Manfrotto Boom Stand
1 or 2- Tamrac Rolling Cases for Lights, Stands & Accessories.
2 or 3- light boxes (2-Med. Size 1-Lrg.)
1-Manfrotto tri pod on rollers and geared
4-6 Muslin and Canvas Backgrounds.
Possibbley a little more.
This new equipment will be added to my already existing equipment.Profesional level canon camera, 70-200 2.8 L Canon Lens, 2-Monolights, Radio Slave system (1 transmitter 2 Receivers) 15+ years experience with name out there locally.
My financial situation:

Both me and my wife are licensed teachers with each one of us starting a new job in teaching this fall.  (Reason it shows that I have 0months and years at job)  The two new jobs are contracted and add a income of almost a extra 20 Thousnand dollars in income as compared to our other jobs.  I am also a good candidate for this loan because I have a secure background with money.  I am responsible and truly dedicated to making myself succeed.  I have a degree in Profesional Photography with a specialization in both commercial and portrait photography and I am also a liscened teacher in the state of Minnesota for K-12 art education.
I plan on targeting wedding, comercial, High School Seniors, and my fine art photography.  My fine art is produced on a watercolor, acid free paper with a archival quality to last over 100 years. 

Monthly net income from teaching:
$3,000.00 aproximately 3-4 Hundred in photography income.
Total yearly income for both me and my wife is around 90-95 Thousand dollars.  Not including new income from Photography.  Hopefully around 12-18 Wedding/year would be a total sales of 20 thousand plus.

Monthly expenses: $
  Housing: $ 1225.00 (Includes Escrow for Insurance and Taxes)

  Car expenses:  Truck is almost payed off @ $205.00/Month (I think I have 3-4 Months left)
