how $900 became $2972.80
money making is a vicious, vicious cycle
i'm going diving. Anilao, in Philippines. $900
And i thought, what a good place to venture into underwater photography!
so i sussed out a good deal. a little too good to be true. still it set me back by $1770.
however, with big things come big responsibility. i had to figure out some way to secure my entire rig to myself, in the event of inclement conditions in the sea. $75 + $5.50 + $3.50 + $1.80 = $95.80
and because i have more and more gear which requires more and more batteries, i had to go out and get some. $44
and battery chargers, of course. $140
and a long line of power sockets for the many chargers. $23
that's how a $900 trip turn into a $2972.80 hole.
