The heartbreaking result of a four-foot trip to the pavement that my beloved Nikon 80-200 recently took. For those who can't quite make it out (my iPhone isn't quite as clear as my other setup), the second element has a significant seashell fracture. It seems that I may have gotten lucky, since in very early testing it hasn't seemed to affect the images significantly, but it has - if nothing else - destroyed any resale value I had in it.
In the same breath, I would like to caution EVERYONE against the Lowepro Transit 350. Although it's a great bag on most fronts, I hold it completely responsible for this loss. As some may know, it's a two strap backpack with a sling-style side opening. I have the pockets arranged in such a way that I can leave a lens mounted on my camera and have instant access to it when I unzip the side opening, while all the other lenses remain safely in their pockets (this arrangement can be seen in another one of my photos.)
Unfortunately, the pockets on my bag failed me. For some incomprehensible reason, Lowepro decided not to make the pocket walls ascend all the way to the bags top/front, leaving some space for the lens to crawl though and into the open "main chamber." And so one day, the inevitable happened: I took out my D7000/lens, and the 80-200 came along, too.
I get that this was a user mistake, but at the core of it I see this problem as one that should have been anticipated by the fine folks over at Lowepro. When I put a lens in a pocket, I expect it stay where I left it. And in this case, that trust cost me at least $700. The sound of this lens hitting the sidewalk is a sound I won't be forgetting for some time.
The long-abandoned Circle L Motel - just North of Columbus on Route 23, near Lewis Center, Ohio. Probably not there for much longer - all the doors have been padlocked to keep everyone out (interior shots were through broken windows), and there's now a sign advertising condos to be built on the site...
I got caught in a hailstorm. i dashed for my car, and when i got in my umbrella wouldn't close. so rather than keep trying to shut it and let rain and hail into my car, i threw the umbrella down, abandoning it. this is how it ended up, a good six or seven feet from where I tossed it, after the storm
25 May 2012 - Had a minor mishap today when my camera bag slipped from my hands and landed on the ground as I was taking it out of the car. It fell less than three feet. First thing I checked was the Sigma 18-50 lens, which was in one of the compartments on its own. There was a rattling sound, like bits of glass moving about - never a good sign. The lens cap was stuck to the UV filter. At this point I hoped that it was just the filter and nothing else. Then I used the tip of a flat screwdriver to pry off the lens cap. Luckily only the filter broke; the lens was okay. So was the D7000 body.
Lessons learned:
1. Trying to pick up too many things in one hand is not good.
2. My Lowepro shoulder bag does not have much padding at the bottom (which hit the floor first).
3. Filters are our friends.

De vuurtoren van Punta Pechiguera staat op de zuidwestelijke punt van het Canarische eiland Lanzarote, nabij de badplaats Playa Blanca, op het grondgebied van de gemeente Yaiza. Hij markeert de noordwestelijke toegang tot de zee-engte van La Bocaina tussen de eilanden Lanzarote en Fuerteventura. Op deze locatie staan thans twee vuurtorens: de 'oude' en de 'nieuwe'.
Tot de bouw van deze vuurtoren op deze plaats werd door de Spaanse overheid beslist bij Koninklijk Besluit in 1856. Dit gebeurde in het kader van een algemeen 'vuurtorenplan' voor de Canarische Eilanden. Het ontwerp was van de hand van de uit Gran Canaria afkomstige ingenieur Juan de León y Castillo (1834-1912). De vrij bescheiden stenen toren van ca. tien meter hoog was gereed in 1866 en bleef in gebruik tot 1988. Bij besluit van de Canarische overheid van 20 december 2002 kreeg hij het statuut van waardevol erfgoed (Bien de Interés Cultural - BIC). Het gebouw is niet toegankelijk. Het lichthuis is door vandalisme beschadigd.
Update Broken Angel 11/13/06 please post
The building Broken Angel is a unique melding of art and architecture designed by my father Arthur Wood, and located in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. The original building was bought at a city auction in 1979, and major construction was completed in 2002. On 10/10/06 a structure at the top of Broken Angel caught fire. Thanks to the quick action of the New York City fire department no one was harmed, and only minimal damage was done to the building. Unfortunately the fire brought the attention of the department of buildings (DOB) who vacated my parents, the owners and guardians of Broken Angel. My family is currently working with the architecture firm, Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture www.jpda.net/news.html, to bring the building to code, however we are still being threatened with demolition by the DOB. On Wednesday 11/15/06 the Brooklyn Supreme Court will begin hearings on whether the actions of the DOB are justified. Additionally we will be selling photographs and paintings as a fundraiser at Artez’n (444 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn NY). These works of art can also be viewed and purchased on line at www.artezn.com/product/?product_id=5246 .We are attempting to raise funds to save the building and develop it in a way that will help the community. In selling our art work we are hoping to make Broken Angel a permanent art installation and fixture of Brooklyn. For those who are interested in viewing the building additional photos of Broken Angel can by seen at www.flickr.com/photos/onebadapple/ . In closing my family would like to say thank you to all of the people who have been so gracious in their offers of help. We deeply appreciate your support.
A rock jammed my derailleur into my spoke. The spoke got caught between the jockey wheel and the derailleur body and locked my wheel up. Broken spoke, broken derailleur, broken/twisted chain, bent derailleur hanger. Paul helped me fix it well enough to finish the ride.
Upstairs the trash was knee deep. Boards spread on top the garbage enabled passage. Immediately after I took this shot, a rat appeared. So I went back downstairs.

So yeah, that's what happened. A broken foot and possibly a wrist. The girl who activated this exploding bed was sitting right off to the side. I think it was supposed to not be such a violent explosion but it turned out as such. I'd have loved to have heard him tell the doctor how he got hurt.
the glass on my sliding door to the backyard is broken AGAIN
this photo was taken on 17 August 2011 and is my 229th entry in my 365 Flickr project
The broken locks were a warning.
You got inside my head.
I tried my best to be guarded.
But I'm an open instead.
I'm falling apart.
I'm barely breathing.

Fridas Broken--finished. Glass on glass using broken Frida Kahlo dish, stained glass, seed beads, alphabet beads, millefiori, and star bead covered in epoxy resin.
This next series of pics is about an old local amusement park. The place seems to be abandoned, since no one actually cares about it. Not long ago, this very establishment was booming. Wonder what happened?
Lesson learned? Look under water consuming appliances, dishwasher, refrigerator, clothes washer from time to time to check for water leaks.
This one appears to have been leaking for a while and this morning the motor fried when I switched it on.
