Sadness

I left my camera on a picnic table at Wallace Falls State Park in Gold Bar, WA.

This is depressing for two reasons. 1) my camera is an extension of myself and goes with me EVERYWHERE. 2) all my photos from the week are gone.

I feel like an incomplete person without the ability to photograph my world at will. strange how I can feel attached to a camera like that.

So, just in case anyone is reading this who happened to be at Wallace Falls State Park on Friday April 24th... if you can return my photos to me I'll buy you the same camera I had.

I so feel for you and understand on the ol lost camera routine. I recently had a righteous Nikon with Nikkor rig stolen from my Tahoe's console by the guys at Rusty's Towing in Anchorage. Insurance may have sent me a compensatory check, but thugs got the memory card with my first Alaska salmon catch. Bummer, that.

Good luck. Maybe just maybe you'll get it back.

Wow ... I hadn't checked your blog in a long time and I see this. I feel for ya, that really sucks. Hope you get it back. For what it's worth ... if that happened to me I'd go to ebay and buy used what I have now - a Canon A640 10 meg ($150-$200). It's a small, good quality point and shoot that has features that are great for winter use: it uses AA batteries, so you can use cold impervious lithium AAs that will last for months. It also has a pivoting view finder for taking off-angle shots. All my photos and videos on my web site are taken using this little camera. Life w/o a camera ... that is tough!!

JM- yeah, I don't know if it's worse to lose a camera by theft or when it's due to your own negligence.

TK- thanks for the A640 tip, it'd be a step up from what I had (which I don't particularly feel like I deserve at this point).
