THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead.

He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said.

It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest. He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that’s when it occured.

I’ve been watching our old Buffy tapes (we have ALL of them on tape, lol) and got to looking through YouTube for any funny/unique clips … The links below are a bit long, but I thought they were good – especially the Buffy/Friend video above. My 2 favourites shows rolled into 1!

Behind The Scenes – Buffy the Musical, The Body – episode montage, The Diary and Mind of Andrew

decisions, decisions

entry2I’m kinda stuck as to what I should do… I’ve just found out that Polaroid will discontinue the film I need for my Holgaroid, which means I need to buy up as much film as I can before the end of the year (or as stocks last). Shipping usually costs the same (if not more) when I order small amount, so it’s wiser to buy in bulk.

Not as easy as it sounds because we’re on a tight budget, and buying 15-20 packs of film + shipping will at least cost me AUS$400 or so – money that was supposed to go towards the mortgage and a bit for a ring flash I wanted or a new lens I was thinking of getting.

the passing carPoor me, right? haha. I know there are bigger things to think about right now – but I’ve been planning my big ‘spring/summer’ photographic adventures all year because I adore Sydney when it’s hot hot hot. There’s alot of life in the city usually, but I find that spring and summer offers alot more to me.

I was really looking forward to using the holgaroid more in the sunshine …

I can’t have everything I want so I’ve widdled it down to
– Allocating some money to get some polaroid film & shoot as much as I can afford while it lasts. Shoot something really special with what I can get.
– Forget about Holgaroid altogether and go with a new lens/flash at the end of the year as planned.
– Forget about new gear altogether and just be happy.

It would be really sad if I never got to use it again; but then again I might be better off buying more digital gear ..

damn you Polaroid!!
