( dear god: thank you for girls who like to makeout with each other. and for lemon cheesecake. mmmmmm. )
from 3/31 to 4/9, my camera's shutter cycled almost 2000 times.
i kept 387 photos from the trip, 145 have been processed and edited.
I don't think I'm going to recover any of those photos that got deleted last week. The combination of a USB mass storage device and bypassing the recylcle bin practically makes it impossible to retrieve the files, as they are never really kept on my computer. I knew I should've stopped using that thing months ago, so I guess I got what was coming for me haha. The scary thing is that I'm actually okay with all of this. to be honest, I didn't lose that much... there are a lot of pictures that I don't have anymore, but the best ones are on flickr, and I'm not sure if I really needed any of the RAW files in the future. Still, it's really really nice to have the original files, and it's a bummer that they had to go like this. I suppose it's a good lesson learned for the future... at least I didn't lose everything from this year.
But on top of losing all of those photos, I've been under so much stress lately, and it's just been hella crazy recently. Prom is next weekend and I still need to find a tux. I have an art show two weekends from now ( I know I haven't said anything about it... I will soon ), grades are lacking in school, my boyscout leader got an email from anonymous parents saying how pathetic he is ( certainly not true), and I myself am rushing to finish my eagle scout project by june 28th. I'm terribly unorganized with everything. I've had strange thoughts about IAC lately, and part of me wishes I would go back. I could swear one of my best friends is bipolar. The first photo that I got a lot of attention from on flickr accidentally got marked private, taking away the 62 faves it had... not that big of a deal but really annoying.
And then shit happens. Massive golf-ball sized hail on friday. My car didn't get damaged, but the word is that it was pretty bad in some areas. And as much as I complain about losing some photos, at least I didn't lose my house to a fire ( the Polzins are my brother's friend's family ).
Anyway. I'll be alright.
