I’m mostly venting, but I bet there were some amazing photos on that film, those pictures documented a China flirting with openness, that seems so far off now.

Oh man, sorry you went through that.

Anyone else lose photos that meant a lot to them?

My first trip to Taiwan. I had a blast and loved it. Took tons of photos.

After I got back home, my camera got stolen out of my backpack when I wasn't looking. I was so pissed off and hurt.

On the bright side, that was another nudge that led me to move to Taiwan. Where I would take many more pictures than I lost. Lived there for several years.

Another time was I spent the day exploring the temples of Sukhothai in Thailand. I had a memory card in my camera. I had a full memory card in my pocket.

When I got back to my guesthouse at the end of the day, I dipped my hand into my pocket to get the full memory card--and nothing!

By then, it was too late and too dark to look for it.

Next day I revisited all the temples and retraced my steps, inspecting the ground everywhere. At the last temple, I finally found the memory card on the ground.

This was during a months-long backpacking trip around Southeast Asia, so there were loads of photos on that memory card.

I was so relieved to get it back.

Excellent, in-depth feedback. Thank you.

Hope the OP sees your comment.

Search YouTube for "B&H Event Space + [photo genre]." You'll find hour-long presentations by photographers on that genre. Wedding, sports, portrait, all kinds of great stuff.

I do mostly Landscape and Milky way photography just for the hobby.

Examples:

B&H Event Space landscape

B&H Event Space astro

There is a B&H Event Space channel, but I find a lot of the videos are still on the main B&H channel. So it's easier to find videos with a YouTube search.

Hope this helps.
