I've misplaced my camera. This is a rare occurrence, as I use it so often. By comparison, I misplace my cellphone every couple of weeks, and after a quick search, just wait to stumble over it somewhere. Not having the cellphone at hand is just a slight inconvenience.

But without a camera, my ability to communicate feels oddly restricted; like losing the power of speech. The camera is here at home, I think, and will likely be found soon - so fortunately, it's like losing the power of speech due to dental novacaine.

This morning I looked through the most recently downloaded images, hoping for a clue as to where I might have taken the camera next. No clue.

But I did find an image from a few days ago that seems appropriate for this post.

  2. Uh oh! I once lost a camera in the woods. It remained lost for several months near a site that bears frequent. When I found it, it had a deep tooth mark on its metal body (from a bear, I think) but it still worked! Miracle!!!!

    I do hope that you find yours soon. Perhaps Piper could help?

  3. Sorry your camera is missing.
    I look in my clothes first. I have heard that familiar clunk when sorting laundry.

    I wish cameras could be called like a cell phone to find where they are. I have two cell phones for that purpose. I prefer prepaid because the cost is less

    1. Usually by the time I realize my cellphone is missing, the battery is dead. I'm getting a little better at remembering to carry it when I head outdoors, so maybe I won't misplace it as often as when it just sits around in the house. Somewhere.

  4. I misplace things all the time, so you're not alone! I try to always put cameras/phone/keys in the same spot so I don't have to look for them. Eye glasses is my most frustrating loss because I put them everywhere! For the life of me I cannot figure out your photo?? Maybe I should go find my glasses :o

    1. Ha! It's a bottle of Pepto-Bismal, upended in a little glass :) The only way to get the last bit out of a bottle is to ask gravity for assistance.

  5. Oh no! I hope you found it. I've misplaced the cord to my big camera so can't download any of the pictures I've taken and that's irritating. I rearranged the tv room and have absolutely no idea what I did with it in the process. Of course, it should be in the bag with the other camera accessories. That's what I get for not putting things back in their place.

    1. Once I lost the charger for my camera batteries - left it in my room at a hotel and even though I realized it and called only hours later, the charger was never found. I was on my way into Yosemite for 3 days alone, and it was a very interesting thing to immerse myself in that landscape without a camera.

  6. I hope the wayward camera has come back from going walkabout and is behaving itself now. Any chance it could have been in the car and fallen down beneath the seat?
