So far I've not lost a camera anywhere outside my home, although I lost one under a living-room chair for quite a while and bought another one before I found it. Hey, I don't move chairs every time I vacuum, OK?
I almost always peruse Post Secret on Sundays. If you don't know about the Post Secret website, it exists so people who have a secret they can't share with anyone they know can share it anonymously with the whole world. Some of the secrets are "R-rated", but many of them are made up of the sort of little things everybody keeps to themselves because the secret might hurt someone they love. I never had anything to send them, but today I realized I do have a secret, just one of those things you might say to your best friend, but nobody else. But I digress.
You will have to click on the link to read this story, but it's a great one, full of human kindness; I can't see that anyone would be sorry if they read it, and if you've ever lost a camera, there's a chance you just might find it.

That was amazing how lost and found cameras has blossomed. Also enjoyed reading Post Secrets on Sunday. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteI used to read Post Secret, and even submitted one about ten years ago.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I buy a post card, I'm sending them my secret.
DeleteI have never logged onto that site. Sometimes I have found even facebook to be full of false information so I seldom use it either.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that website. I am a curious person so I would enjoy reading the stories.
ReplyDeleteI just had to check out that website. It is rather fun. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed it for years.
DeleteI used to read it many many years ago but had forgotten all about it. I think there was even a book at some point.
ReplyDeleteI personally have never lost a camera but I witnessed one lost. It was dropped by our luggage raft paddler into the Colorado river somewhere in the Grand Canyon. As it was a significant financial loss for him, I felt really bad for him.
They have done many books now, and also go all over the country speaking.
