The art of losing isn't hard to master

I think I managed to lose another lens today. This time it's the small 18-55mm lens that came with the camera. But I wasn't hiking through foreign countries this time. I was walking from my car to my house. Somehow, between those two points, I managed to lose track of it. My camera bag was partly open, and apparently it took the opportunity to make its leap for freedom. I searched the front yard extensively, of course, but somehow, it's nowhere to be found.

If I had to lose one, I'm glad it was my cheapest, crappiest lens this time, but it was a useful lens too. Now my only choice is to carry around the behemoth. Awesome.

This is why we can't have nice things

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4LSigh, it turns out I left my $700 EF 70-200mm f/4L lens on a park bench by the side of the road in St. Thomas where we stopped to take pictures on the way to the airport. I'm still paying off the credit card debt I incurred when buying it, and already it's gone. Bah. My clumsy absentmindedness is amusing when I accidentally sit on things, but less so when I lose expensive things.
