my computer got stolen yesterday.
four years of photography, the majority of it not backed up, is most likely gone with the wind.
not to mention all the letters, and the music and...and...and...
so much emotional value for me, and a relatively small sum of money for the one who stole it.
it makes me think about how our things can end up owning us. a huge lesson in letting go, and putting things into perspective.
and more than ever, i am thankful for the tiny tip of the iceberg which i documented here.
usch, tänker på dig...du, jag kan skicka en dator (med Didrik och Ebba-filmen på!) till dig imorgon om du vill, jag har ju nån kvar du kan få? och lite musik! fast jag vet, det räcker ju liksom inte.
ReplyDeleteusch, usch, usch!!
säg till om jag kan göra nåt...
That's a crappy thing to happen. I hope it turns up or that you had enough of your work stashed elsewhere to lessen the blow...
ReplyDeleteoh, sara....
ReplyDeletewat onnodig en stom
ik wou dat ik iets kon doen
en kijk ondertussen
naar je mooie beelden
die hier nog zijn
ik denk aan je
en draag je mee
vandaag
x
ånej! ånej ånej ånej!!! jag skulle gråta blod över bilderna :( eller snarare, jag gör det, du hade ju massor med fina på barnen som jag sörjer, för att inte tala om allt annat. hoppas den mirakulöst dyker upp igen. kramar!
ReplyDeleteMen kära...för första gången på så länge som jag hälsar på av olika skäl..så får jag läsa detta...shit..jag lider med dig. Kan knappt föreställa mig den rakningen av själen..
ReplyDeleteKramar om dig å vill också säga att jag fick boken..så fin å lagom!
Oh, NO!
ReplyDeleteDear Sara,
its a hard lesson.
Thank God, YOU are fine. You take every thing with you whats important.
Carry on.
Love
xAriane.
omg! i would FREAK OUT!
ReplyDeletei'm sorry.
4 years, not backed up!? well, you learnt that lesson the very hard way.
but yes, things similar have happened to me, and it's a huge one on letting go, starting fresh.
Oh wat vreselijk, bah!! Ik hoop dat je op de een of andere manier nog zoveel mogelijk van je mooie beelden terug kunt halen.
ReplyDeleteDenk aan je x
Oj stackars dig,så tråkigt.Det är hemskt att förlåra massor med personliga saker,som bilder och sånt. En stor kram och i fortsättning,glöm inte att göra back-up.
ReplyDeleteBastards! That's not fair. Why should you take preventative measures for fear your computer will get stolen. I'm so sorry that happened, because you would have had the most beautiful photos on there.
ReplyDeleteI hope by some freak chance of good luck you get it back.
I remember when they broke into our studio/flat two years ago. it was heartbreaking in the beginning, all that was gone. but then, I decided to not let it get to me and neighbors started collecting for us, brought flowers and cakes. in the end, what could have been a nightmare, became a lesson in letting go and making things good out of bad stuff!
ReplyDeleteÅåååh! Skit också! Du tar det lugnt tycker jag. Tänker på alla backups jag gjort, det är så viktigt men lätt att glömma. Har en liten extern hårddisk för mina bilder. Men du har alla fina här i bloggen förstås. Kram!
ReplyDeleteoh my dear sarita, i'm soo sorry to hear that! i can completely understand how you feel, but the best thing is not to think it twice or you'll get too sad about it. i send you all my love and support pequeña, mucho ánimo!!
ReplyDeletedear sara, i feel very sorry for that. don't let the bad feeling stay to deep inside! it is sad, its gone but you will fill a new chapter/computer soon!
ReplyDeletelove and hugs, julia
I'm so so sad for you.
ReplyDeletehugs
maria
Inte coolt att sno andras saker! Grrrr jag blir så arg och ledsen för din skull. Kram
ReplyDeleteDearest Sara,
ReplyDeletelet me feed you. Maybe with something new? Maybe not.

nooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeletethat´s really really stupid and sad thing. especially when thinking of that value for you, and the value for that one who stole your computer.
I know the feeling of loosing years of photos, i had that little "accident" that lost my photos from the hard disc since the last 5 years. even just photos, they are also part of the memory. and i had to cry a bit.
luckily there is this blog, and a little glimpse of left.
love and hugs <3
gisteren
ReplyDeletezag ik een prachtige
voorstelling van NDT1
drie balletten waarvan de eerste
door een Israelische choreograaf
en ik dacht aan jou
en het filmpje wat
ik van je zag
x
Very sorry to hear that. I hope that this will give you an opportunity to start life afresh. Also, this time, keep everything backed up in a external hard drive once a week.
ReplyDeletetake care,

ReplyDeletewell, i had most of my photos on an outer hard disc (or how is it called..) and not on my computer. S. was doing some cleaning with that hard disc, and... yep. there they went;)
ReplyDeletemany people say one should have all important stuff at least in 2 different places. i´m just still not that well organized..

ReplyDeleteknuffel!
