A personal story of (little) misery
I am so so frustrated. I can't decide whether to scream or cry. (just to note, I did cry when I realized what happened) I know it isn't a big deal to some people and I'm probably overreacting, but I guess it's just the final straw for me. Or maybe I'm hormonal....hate to admit it, but it's true.
I took some wonderful pictures of my son playing in a rubbermaid container as a pool in our backyard at the end of September. I thought I downloaded the photos, but I wans't really worried about it, after all, I have a 2.2 gig card in my camera....I'm not really worried aobut running out of room.
But I must have done something when I was editing photos, instead of saving it to my hard drive, I clicked save and it rewrote the file on the card. Not a problem? wrong! I lost access to ALL the pictures I had (over a thousand!!) I was upset, but I was pretty sure all the improtant ones had been saved. i lost a bunch of pictures of my husband and kids playing...which really made me mad, but I can take those again.
Untill this morning. I realized that the only picture that I have of my son in his "pool" is a photo that I resized for the internet and therefore, is too small to print out well. And that's it. Not only did I lose a cool moment, I lost a lot of pictures that I was really proud of. Normally I take okay pictures, but that day I was on fire. I had dozens that turned out amazing...and this is all I have to show for it. I lost it all. I wonder what other special memories I will go looking for and never find again....
