I hadn’t thought much of this photo at the time. The abstract bird in flight photo, which is the headline image, caught my eye the most (no offence to my son). Sunrise views, portraits of my first born son in his early months, small birds on or around a baited branch, closeups of insects on flowers, dreamy bluebells, a fox cub chewing on a rabbit leg, a tree-dappled sunset through a dirty window, a motion-blur abstract of a bird in flight. Wow, had I really not used that camera in almost 10 years? What was I interested in making photos of back then? 982 raw format 12MP photos, the first file dated 4 January 2014 and the most recent taken on. Remembering where it came from, I unearthed an otherwise redundant compatible card reader and excitedly connected the card to see what goodies were inside.ġ5.11GB space taken – that’s good, I had rescued a full card. You’d think I would’ve have rushed to look at what was on the memory card, but for one reason or another I didn’t do it right away, and then several months passed before I discovered it buried under a pile of paper on my desk. What have I done? Have I made a mistake? The missing memories In the calm after that storm, a different kind of internal chaos grew. Thankfully, I rescued the 16GB CompactFlash card while the courier waited patiently on the doorstep (this can’t have just happened to me), apologizing as I chaotically tore off the tape, reopened the D300 box – yes, I’m the kind of person that keeps the original packaging – to redo the whole boxing process. The courier arrived to collect the boxed up kit but at the eleventh hour, pandemonium – I hadn’t properly checked the camera before boxing it up and there’s a memory card in there, I just know it.
