During our recent Malta adventure I unfortunately lost my camera along with the photographs for the first part of our holiday. Luckily just before we travelled I had upgraded my mobile phone (paying less for my contract) so I was able to take photos after my camera had gone missing.
I have now replaced the camera but the photos that should have accompanied my stories from Malta have been lost in a foreign land…
Malta is so photogenic, you will find plenty of beautiful photos on-line and in travel magazine to keep. The real loss comes from the personal connections with the places you loved. Memories of you drinking coffee on outside tables cannot be replicated.
Yes, there were some special photos I had taken which cannot be repicated. I can use some of Mr C’s photos for some of my stories but he does not see all that I see (and vise versa). So some special moments/perspectives are lost forever.
Sorry to hear that. I enjoy your pictures of journeys.
Thank you
Although I don’t have my photos for the first part of our holiday I will be able to share some that Mr C took. He doesn’t see all the things I see (and vise versa) so some of my photo memories will be missing.
One of life’w worst nightmare’s, Cherie
I was really upset at losing the photos.
So sorry to hear of the camera loss – horrid thing to happen losing photographic memories of a holiday and all the inconvenience.
Thank you
At least I had my mobile to be able to take photos of what was left of the holiday. Adequate but not as versitile as a camera.
Oh, no, Cherry. That is indeed one of almost every photographer’s nightmares. Thankfully, you had back-up photos from M. to carry you through!
I was able to use my mobile phone for the second part of the holiday. But all my photos of Valletta and Gozo are missing.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
So what happened? Got stolen there?
No, I somehow mislaid it…
I always check that I have picked everything up before I leave a place. But for some reason, although I did my usual checks there was nothing to see in the place I suspect that I left it. Maybe it had fallen on the floor just out of sight…
I am more upset about the photos than the camera and it just had to be my birthday when it went missing!
