Lost and Found

From Winter 08:09

You know that feeling when you're cleaning out a closet or drawer and find a mysterious roll of film or disposable camera that has all the pictures on it, but for some reason it never got developed and you don't remember what era it belongs to, let alone what the pictures are of. There's a magical moment when you get the photos developed and you relive some point in time that you had completely forgotten and probably never would have remembered if it hadn't been for your long lost photographs. Typically with digital pictures that's not really possible, unless you come across an old memory card that you lost somewhere. I was reading about lost and found cameras today, this one was found in a river and the photos were recovered and reunited with it's owner. These are all lost and found photos that people post about. This brought to mind the camera that I broke a few years ago, and hadn't ever downloaded pictures from because it's a memory stick and we never got new cameras that used them. But because I bought myself a memory card reader recently that takes all kinds of media I realized I could find my very own pictures. These are from the big snowstorm we had, the second largest on record. As you can see it was sticky snow and the cars in the neighborhood took on whole new shapes and showed off how aerodynamics work. I also had more hair back then, and it was fairly soon after we moved to the city, so Scott's snow boots were the redneck version. I love snow, but I am really ready for Spring.
