1. February 2002 Train between Salzburg, Austria and Munich, Germany
2. December 2005 Plane in Chiang Mai, Thailand
3. April 2007 Shuttle to Plane Rome, Italy
4. November 2008 Chick-fil-A at Cherrydale Greenville, SC
1. Sometime on the train or in switching trains in Munich, I lost or left or had stolen my very first digital camera. We had a film camera but for some reason, only three of the pictures we took in Paris came out. So I don't have any pictures of when we got engaged except two pictures of gardens and one of my hand. The camera was never recovered.
2. We flew overnight from Delhi to Bangkok to Chiang Mai. I was delirious. I put my camera in its case under the seat in front of me and left it there. One call to Thai Air and one quick trip back to the airport and we had our camera back.
3. When we checked in at the airport in Rome, they said they needed us to take an earlier flight (why oh why? note for next time: just say no). So we rushed to get to the airplane- special little shuttle bus to take us to the plane- last ones on. We were sitting on the plane waiting for our paperwork to arrive when I realized I had left the camera on the little bus. We told the stewardess who radioed the little guy. He drove back and gave us our camera. Unfortunately everyone on our plane thought we were waiting on that instead of our paperwork which arrived at the same time. They weren't too happy about that.
4. We met Geoff & Brenna at CFA before the Furman game and just left the camera. I called on Monday and they had it. My mom works near there so she picked it up.
Jonathan says for Christmas I'm getting a bright orange camera case. Or having the case sewed to the shoulder of my shirt. My choice. Although what I really want is a digital SLR. Fat chance of that ever happening.

I've never heard of someone who has such a problem with keeping up with her camera! Ever go to the Lost Camera website? People post pictures from cameras or cards they have found. I always keep my eye out for your Rome pics.

I'm hoping to get a new camera soon. I hope I don't have your luck!!
How did Merritt ever find that website?? :)
The pictures of Rome and Florence that were lost were not my fault! (Sorry Gerald- I can't claim that one). My FIL lost the memory stick with the first oh 500 pictures of our trip to Italy. Yeah....
The last 3 instances were all with the same camera! I got my camera delivered back to me this afternoon and my family had put some bonus pictures on there. Maybe I should put those on the blog.
I'm glad you got it back.
Well, at least an SLR is much bigger and harder to lose :) Although, one time Adam left it in the lobby of Max hospital when I was checked into the hospital... luckily it was right where we left it... it was kinda a crazy day anyway :) haha!
Maybe you can get a beeper that beeps you when you're too far away from your camera - do they make such a thing?
oh yeah, blog those bonus pics!
Buy the SLR. I bought a Nikon D80 about 8 months ago. I really enjoy going for a drive and taking pictures. And of course pictures of my baby nephew Rowan when he comes to my house for slumber parties.
Deb- I've seen the pictures from your SLR and they are awesome. I wish it was as easy as just buying it. I might have to make a "Digital SLR" account at ING.
I saved my change to get the camera. In the age of the debit card it took a long time. The debit card cuts down on the number of coins one accumulates.
That's awesome Deb. We use our CC for everything to rack up the miles = free trip to Hawaii next July. Maybe I should start getting gift cards instead and use them toward a camera? Which digital SLR do you have?
I picked up a photo I had enlarged at Walgreens last night and it turned out really well. The photo tech said, "You must have a good camera." So now I feel bad about wanting a digital SLR.
