[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1992329, member: 13307"]Working yesterday at the Jacksonville, IL Steam Show (an outdoor flea market type setting.) Think cornfields with booths/tables/trailers/tractors. Well, for some stupid reason I had decided to keep a memory card in my pocket (maybe because I had a magnet to check coins in the backpack, and I didn't want to accidentally erase my images? No idea why I even brought it - not like I was going to edit photos there anyway...) On it were edited (finished) images of about 100-150 coins, plus some edited (finished) images from my trip to New Zealand. Maybe about 100 hours worth of work. Got home, no memory card. Spent about 2 hours walking around trying to find it. No luck. Thankfully, I was smart enough to back up the really important pictures (irreplaceable ones from New Zealand or Easter with my family) but now I have to redo all those coins...that are already in 2x2s. Lesson learned: never, ever carry a memory card in your pocket. Always backup your work when you stop working. Yeesh![/QUOTE]
