Today, I found out the memory card our engagement photos were taken on has been corrupted, so all the images are lost. The guy who took the pictures said that this has never happened to him in the eight years that he's been a photographer. FML

actually the technician the photographer works with determined that it may take 4 months to recover them. there's no guarantee that it would actually work though and it's extremely expensive.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

102 - I don't understand why you'd be stuck paying for it if it's not your fault. Sure, it's expensive but you didn't cause the film to corrupt. I'd fight it.

film isn't really viable these days. my dad's a photographer and the lab he used shut down their film operation since no amateurs use film anymore. sure it's better quality but it's so expensive compared to digital.

Engagement photos. How ******* many engagement photos do you need? I assume you'll be engaged more than one day?

I'm a photographer, and sometimes that happens through no fault of the photographer. The good news is, there are a variety of programs and businesses out there that specialize in recovering corrupted files. If your photographer has business insurance, they might even pay for the recovery costs. Hope isn't lost! The files are still there!

and we can charge an arm and a leg because most people are unaware of how easy it is to do... :) never sell your used hard drive, no matter how many ways you think you erased your dirty secrets.

As long as you don't have to pay for the actual photos that you obviously won't receive (unless the files can be recovered by someone), this is probably not that big of a deal. I guess it sucks if you have to pay for the session or something, and you sort of wasted some time... *shrug* We just had a friend take a picture of us to use in our announcement in the newspaper, rather than spend money on a whole engagement session, but I do have several friends that had long (expensive) engagement photo sessions, so I guess if you can afford it, it sucks that it didn't work out

It was awfully nice of the photographer to reshoot you for free, wasn't it? (Please tell me he did.)
