BufferedImages in a loop

Question

Hello,
I have a directory with about 14 jpg's. What I'm trying to do is load each jpg, convert to a bufferedImage and store in an ArrayList.
Works first time, but if I try to repeat without restarting the app. " out of memory error".
Anyone have a clue where I'm messing this one up at?
try{
  for( int j = 1; j <= questionText.length; j++ ){
       String fileName =  j+".jpg" ;
      // setup the path and file name
       File checkForImage = new File( dir+fileName );
         if( checkForImage.exists() ){
             // if the file exists create image icon of file
                 Image inImage = null;
                 inImage = new ImageIcon( dir+fileName ).getImage();
             // load the image with media tracker
                 MediaTracker m = null;
                 m = new MediaTracker(this);
                 m.addImage(inImage, 1 );
                 m.waitForID(1);
             // create a buffered image object and draw it
                 BufferedImage bi = null;
                 bi = new BufferedImage(inImage.getWidth(this),
                           inImage.getHeight(this),    BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
                 Graphics2D biContext = bi.createGraphics();
                 biContext.drawImage(inImage, 0, 0, this);
              // add the image to the array list
                 imageList.add( bi );
                 bi.flush();
         else
             imageList.add( null );
           }// close for loop    
     catch ( Exception e ){e.printStackTrace();}

No good still crashed.
I tried creating the bufferedImage outside the loop,
bi = new BufferedImage(800, 600, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
for(;;){
..... snip( see above )
Graphics 2D biContext = bi.createGraphics
biContext.drawImage(inImage, 0, 0, this);
...snip( see above )
imageList.add(bi);// all images are the same
it doesn't crash but all the images are the same( the last image read in ) when I dump it out to the directory.
