"Hi, I was told to call in to check if anything had been returned before coming in"

"sure thing, what did you lose?"

"A black, sling back-pack with all my camera equipment inside"

"OH, can you describe the bag and its contents"

(I just did)

"well its a black lowepro bag, one shoulder strap, inside a canon camera and 3 lenses"

"One moment, I'll check to see if we've had anything come in"

"ma'am?"

"yeah"

"sorry, nothing matches"

(shuffle noise in the background, me ready to hang up defeated)

"WAIT! camera girl? are you still there?"

"yeah"

"we found it"

"WHAT?!?!?!"

"you must be one lucky kid..."

(faith in humankind restored-not that it was really shaken)

"uhh"

"seriously... what do you do for a living, make people's days?"

"nope, others do that"

Thus "Ta*ta" evolved to "Camera*Girl"

I am a big fan, and want to extend a thank you to les brumes for generously providing an excellent/wide variety of textures

Finally and most importantly, I want to thank BlaisOne for the gift of a pro account

Oh and for those of you wondering what's up with the funny numbering/notation of photos. In 2010 I attempted a 365 project. In the process I learned a lot about myself and reaffirmed some other things. In the end, I terminated the project prematurely but have since been able to better focus on smaller more satisfying projects
