She was more like a beauty queen...

Still listening to Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean... Such an amazing track [Thanks, Michael Jackson] ... You can see it here.




So, I'd like to [as this "seven day challenge" ] work out a way to frame and auction one of my photos and donate the proceeds to some charity... Not Oxfam this time, they've taken some of my money, This time I've chosen WWF.ORG.UK as my charity.


£1 buys a seedling to help replant the forests of Tanzania; £25 pays a Rhino Protection Unit ranger's salary for 10 days; £100 pays for 5 days' training in cork oak forest management for a local worker; £200 buys a camera trap to film tigers and other wildlife in Huai Kha Khaeng, Thailand... So, well, why not?... Gotta try right?

That Lowepro Compurover AW... Well, I took it on holidays - Peru, and gave it a good solid flogging for two weeks, Inca trail, Pisac Ruins, Culca Canyon, Amazon basin forest... Did it stand up to the test?.. Well, in some aspects - OH YES - great bag, and in others... I wanted to tear it apart and feed it to the 3 meter Cayman that was swimming gently towards our boat... well, later this week i'll do a "video wrap up" and give you the down and outs of this bag... Lowepro, be afraid...

So, what to do after threesixtyfive is over?... I'm into the last hundred days Disco just mentioned to me that he'll be trying his ever so capable hand at 100STRANGERS afterwards... I think i'll do the same... A stranger a day for 100 days... perfect really!... Have a look at the 100strangers group from flickr HERE What a cool idea... will i be scared? Will I "bottle it?"

Who knows?...

Over and Out!...
