One the last miniature photography units is in flames...

Large fire in Wellington - national | Stuff.co.nz

I just got flooded with texts and messages about this; I didn't believe it at first, but it seems to be true.

I'm in shock right now.

So much history. And memories.

Looking at the pics on my iPhone, I totally underestimated the scale of it; so now, looking at it on my Mac, I'm pretty choked up. But, as the article says, nobody was hurt -- which is the most important thing.

Miniature photography has enough troubles in the industry as it is!

CTF,
Wow that is devastating. I am really so to hear.

I was also reading an article regarding Peter Jackson and his fight with the Australian Actor's Union just today, relating to "The Hobbit". Weird times.

You have no idea... madness.

I'm heading down to see what the damage is, so I'll report back.

Bummer.I've read some about Jackson's troubles with the Australian Actor's union and from the sounds of it,it appears the Hobbit may never be made.

The damage looks superficial from outside, but the fire destroyed a lot of... stuff.

I tell ya, it sucks.
