Lost Cameras Of The World Unite

I lost a camera two and a half years ago.  It was brand new.  Had probably close to 300 pictures on it.  I.was.devastated.  To this day I still get sad when I think about the photos that I lost. Pictures are my most valuable possession, which is why I now try and download my photos immediately after I take them, I try to back them up all over the place too (I have accounts at Flickr, Snapfish, and Facebook.)  When I saw this post up on PostSecret today I thought it was one of the greatest things I have seen....I really believe that there are good people out there that want to return things (especially cameras) to their rightful owners.  Someone else did too, and thus the blog "Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures" was created.  Though still small, they've already had a success story.  If you, like me, are missing out on your party pics, take a gander through the site....

i used to wonder whose photos were in the frames sold at stores. you know, of happy families and couples, and kids with their pets? were they found film? orphan photos? personally, i buy orphan photos at antique stores, from the 50's and 60's, and sign them with odd names, giving them to a friend who is an only child... she displays them on a 'family photo' table. see? there are uses for everything.
