in need of an umbrella

they say that when it rains it pours, and lately i've been drowning in it all...

for starters, a couple weeks ago my poor canon g7 took a fall for the worse and that hospital bill came out to be almost $200. definitely not cheap.

then came my manual camera...an old pentax spotmatic f, which has been in my family for the last 35 years. i was so excited to be taking photography at school, learning to develop film in the darkroom, and pick up techniques passed down from the days before digital anything was around. little did i know though, that this course and camera would put me back another big chunk of change. due to wear and tear, bad weather conditions, and poor storage, the manual camera also had to be operated on. that bill came out to $120. augh.

so it's been quite an expensive month for me...from the 2 camera repairs to supplies for school, a microwave for the apartment, new internet installation, and all the travel costs associated with 4 out of town weddings this year, it's been pretty brutal...goodbye money :(
