When technology isn’t cooperating and fails you…

  
And just like that ALL 500+ of my pictures I took on my Canon Rebel on this trip are gone…vanished into thin air.  Every single one.  

I finally had a chance to sit down and back up my things. Mercury retrograde is coming and I was trying to avoid this situation. However a glitch happened and wiped my memory card clean anyways.

It sucks and the tears are flowing.

Damn you technology!!! I had sellable images that I cannot get back. Memories to share and enjoy for years to come. I am very disappointed.  

So what do I do now with this? Do I put this camera down and let it go? 

It’s not like this is the first time this has happened. All of my 2013-2014 images vanished one day also. Never got them back. Fuck.

As hard as this is, it’s not the end of the world. This doesn’t take away from my experiences or this journey.  

So I shall have a good cry and move forward….

I am blessed beyond measure. Life is good. Shit happens. Technology is a blessing and a curse and I refuse to let this destroy me and/or define me.

I enjoy taking photos and playing with my big camera…but maybe it’s time to do bigger more important things.  

I’m in New York and it’s a beautiful day. Time to live in the moment and let go of trying to capture every moment.  

Love and hugs, Adventure Mel
