It always happens that the highs are matched with equally low lows. Unfortunately, today, i didn't even get to experience the full effect of feeling good before my bad luck snatched it away.
Today, I was about to become a paid photographer for the first time. For those of you who've been keeping tabs on me through this little website you might have noticed that I've become quite fond of taking pictures. I had even begun admitting to myself that I'm in love with my little hobby. So in love that I had begun dreaming of taking it to the next level. This weekend I was going to realize that next level.
A friend of Dominic's commissioned me to take some outdoor photos. It was a gorgeous day out today and I seized the opportunity to capture some great images. We drove out to the location and shot several great photos. I couldn't wait to get home so that I could upload and email them and GET PAID. How awesome would that have been? I couldn't wait to call myself a freelance photographer and frame my first dollar and call this the beginning of something.
But then...
if you cant read that it says: "Err CF" and it means "You're screwed" could also be interpreted as "God hates you". This happened today when I excitedly tried to upload my photos from my camera. Something I have done this hundreds of times. Thousands and thousands of images have been transferred without incident UNTIL NOW. What the hell?
It's supposed to snow tomorrow and i dont know when i'll get the opportunity to go back and retake those photos. Eventually I will but today's tragedy is going to sting for a while.

do you know what it actually MEANS? is it a card error? a camera error?

some weird, terribly unfortunate card error. after a couple of hours of going through the grieving process I finally accepted that the images were gone so I formatted the card and it's working again.
I have NO CLUE how this happened or if I should use this card again. I dont know if it was something I did or the card or the camera.
Oh well, i'm hoping i can get my hands on a wide angle lens before I go back anyway.

Oh gees. I can't believe that. Sorry darling. To think we were happy about the whole thing the night before and it ended like this.

My camera pulls crap like that...but of course only when I really need it. :P
I'm glad it's fixed at least!

perhaps it is time to buy a super high quality CF card smaller size but high reliabilty for those times when you REALLY don't want to loose pictures.
