Today, while backpacking in Switzerland I had my camera stolen. Not only does this have photos of my entire trip but the pictures I took for my best friend's wedding. I was the only photographer of her elopement. FML

If you were the photographer at the wedding, it should have been your uttermost and foremost responsibility to get those pictures safe and store in multiple copies. Sorry for your camera, that part is FML, but the wedding pictures are YDI.

Yeah... I'm gonna have to go with both FYL and YDI. Sorry but if the pictures were THAT important you should have backed them up. But sorry about your camera.

YDI. If its a digital camera, those wedding photos should have been backed up immediately, and if you were out of town, uploaded to the internet right after the wedding, a backup disk burned, and on your laptop. Camera can be replaced, and your vacation photos, so what? The wedding photos can never be replaced.

I agree, you should have backed up the pics, but ya know what??? Hide sight is 20/20 and its super easy for people to cast stones! That sucks man, Im SO sorry. Perhaps they will show up on that lost photos website? Good luck!

Fyl for having your camera stolen, that would kill me. And for losing the pictures of the trip. But ydi for not backing up the photos of the wedding. Seeing as you were the only photographer, shouldn't you have made sure to back them up on a computer, a flash drive, another camera card, or something BEFORE leaving for Switzerland?

Yeah if I were you I would lie to the couple and tell them that you gave the pictures to a photo place to be developed and they accidentally over exposed them. And say you went in and screamed and screamed at them but they said there was nothing they could do. I'd rather lie then have my friends forever hate my guts.

Yeah, because it's still 1997? Who, apart from professional photographers, still uses non-digital cameras these days?

Lots of people. Just because you haven't seen them, doesn't mean they don't. Granted everything is usually digital no but still loads of people use non-digital cameras for various reasons.

Considering this guy did a wedding shoot, I'd imagine he's at least semi-professional. Film photography is also common for weddings since having hundreds of images on one tiny card is far more risky than having multiple rolls of film, with maybe 24 images on each.

You shoulda backed em' up. All of the pictures. I never go day without uploading my pictures to a computer. So sucks that your camera is stolen but 100% your fault on losing the pictures.

YDI for not giving the pics to the married couple before going on a trap!

YSDI for the wedding pictures. This is why I always copy off my pictures. You never know.
