LMAO! Been there, done that.
Thank you, I knew you’d understand. *sniff*
Seems to be the surest way to find the most unusual motive: leave your camera at home. Just like forgetting your umbrella,and it WILL rain (note: this always works in Germany, but never in Arizona, sigh!)
Every time something like this happens, I say “I’ll never forget the camera again”…and then, invariably…
*sigh*
that’s why you always bring your phone. what if some old person is having a heart attack on the path and you need to call 911? what if that person is you?
I don’t have a phone. Is that bad?
Hey, I’m not THAT old. Yeesh.
Although, I suppose you make a valid point. Ok, Tip #2… 😛
And that right there is why I started lugging a heavy, bulky camera with me everywhere I go! This always, ALWAYS happens on the days I don’t have it with me though. Glad to know everyone else seems to have this problem too!
I have to try not to let this happen again…but yeah, it’s mostly the bulkiness…sometimes when my hands are full of dogs I don’t feel like slinging a camera too…
Haha this sounds like my rule of never go outside without a net! And, now that I have a good camera I will have both hands full – so what’s more important, picture…or specimen… (frozen, moth flies off).
This was my dilemma all summer! My job was to collect, not photograph…so many things would have made excellent pictures, but I was so scared of losing the specimens!!!
Too true. Saw my first ever beaver logging work, quite fresh, in the snow of Haverhill, MA, a week or so ago and now it only exists in my memory. Which, um, isn’t a bad thing.
That would have made a pretty cool picture!
