Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures

"I found this camera on Jan. 30 around 3 am. It was found near the corner of Milwaukee and Western Ave. in Chicago.

It is possible the owner attends or knows people who attend Harrington College of Design in Chicago. Memory cards contains 385 pictures dating back to July of 2009.

I think the blog is a fantastic idea. Uncertain how long you've had it, but will post it around to my contacts, Facebook, etc."





"I am now keeping one image on my camera (see attached "ID.jpg") in the event I do lost my camera someone will see my reward message and return it to me.

Subject: here's a story for you about a lost camera...

I lost my camera last night at The Pasta Bowl restaurant in the Lincoln Park
neighborhood of Chicago. It is a Nikon D70 with a red/black strap, in a black Lowepro case.

I've attached a picture of my little brother that I know for sure is on the memory card that is in the camera.

I also made a posting on craigslist:

and a posting on my Flickr account:

Please find it in your hear to help me find my camera. Taking photographs is the way
I capture the stories of my life, it is why I wake up everyday.

Thank you,

Jen

"In March of 2008, while walking under the Berwyn elevated viaduct near Broadway in Chicago, I found a completely smashed Sony camera with four working memory cards. Because it was so badly crushed, I discarded the camera because it would have been impossible to repair.


Someone will surely appreciate the return of these lost images and I want to be sure they are returned to the correct person."

"My friends and I took a leisurely trip downtown and came across a lonely SD card sitting near Buckingham Fountain. There are a tons of pictures--over 400--from all over the U.S. and Europe. There are videos of a trip to an aquarium as well as some pictures of people.

The pictures came from a 1GB Puremedia card, and had to be taken on a Casio camera."

Subject: Found Memory Card - Chicago, IL 3/16 - RBD concert

I found this SanDisk SD card in the parking lot of the Allstate Arena
in Chicago, IL after the RBD/Timbiriche show on 3/16. There are
only 2 pictures... but there are also 2 videos taken of the
concert.

Did you attend this concert and lose your camera? There were only two pictures on the camera - the one above, and one of a cake. If you are certain that this camera belongs to you, please contact me and correctly identify the names on the cake. Thanks!
