I lost all my pictures from the Sept 24 rally
I took about 70 with my camera phone.. actually it was a company phone. Then last week I lost my job. Still had the phone but not the charger. Today I took it to a Sprint store and asked them to charge it so I could get the pictures off, and the idiot reset it and wiped everything off.

It makes me sick. I sent it back to the company. Kind of a metaphor for the job experience. I put a lot into it and ended up with nothing at all.

I must have accidentally bumped my digital camera against something in my bag and erased my 90 pics from the rally and various monuments around DC. Fortunately I had 2 disposable cameras with me as well...just need to get those pics developed.

SOrry about your photos. :hug:

2. Thanks Velma
I am trying to tell myself that the important thing is that I went to the rally, not the pictures. There are millions of pictures out there.

3. Ohhhh...I'm sooo sorry! I'm sure you must be very disappointed.
That totally sucks.

Perhaps you can metaphorically interpret the loss of those pictures in this way, instead: as a way of wiping the slate clean, starting over, releasing the old and the known....which is kind of what you're doing right now, having lost your job. You get to experience being in total Possibility about what's next in your life. How cool is that? Embrace it, my friend.

Yes, it's disappointing...and sometimes scary...but the question is:

Will YOU be undeterred?

:hug:

5. Oh, that stinks. I am so sorry!
I'm a meticulous photographer with respect to recording memories. I ache on your behalf.
