Disaster: Surviving a compact flash card catastrophe

It was bound to happen sooner or later.  I was just hoping that it would happen with some garden-variety photos, but it had to happen with the over 700 photos I took of the Adamson-FEU nail-biter basketball game.  It was a fantastic, roller-coaster game and I knew I took a lot of memorable photos—photos of the American Idol performers who paid a visit to the Smart Araneta Coliseum, photos of the Adamson and FEU supporters, and photos of the jubilant Tamaraw players celebrating their victory of the favored Falcons.  So I cringed and shivered when, as I started my routine of transferring the pictures from my DSLR to my computer, the following message popped out:

Japan earthquake

Various pictures from Flickr of the Japan earthquake. Photos are linked to the original Flickr photostream.

Cars and Planes tossed around like toys

More pictures after the break.

What happened last year

Here’s one reason why people should take photographs often and post them at Flickr.  Photojojo has this neat feature called a “time capsule” where, twice a month, they will email pics that you had taken one year ago.  It’s fascinating to see and reminisce what had happened a year ago.

For the past few days, the weather was still relatively comfortable, and last night there was a sudden downpour. It’s funny to find out that last year, based on the picture that I had taken about a year ago (on February 26, 2010, to be exact),  the hot weather was suffocating and we had a water shortage.
