                Gutted, but i bet he’s even more gutted not to have any pics from the cam before it became mush.

                yeah that whole story turns though, when he loads all his stuff in that nice little worthless car. Im being sarcastic ;-)

                Crap…
                Anyway he can sell his Corvette to replace all those gear….

                But did he get the shot?

                I literally just almost threw up watching that. I’d probably have a mental breakdown if that happened to me!!

              • http://www.lebryk.com Marc

                While that totally sucks, I felt bad for the guy until he just sort of shrugged and put all his gear in the back of his corvette…

              • Jeremy

                Oh, you guys noticed the Corvette, too? Yeah… I wouldn’t be too heartbroken if I was him. Still sucks, though.

                What a sad sad story. The photographer who lost his camera sure was a trooper! :)
