I am a photographer. I have an attachment to my favorite camera, which is a Nikon D750 that I received at Christmas. My husband and I both upgraded to them at the same time. Two weeks ago I was taking a walk and it started giving me a beam of light across all my pictures, then locked up and gave me an ERR message. A quick check of the owner’s manual on my phone told me that such a message means it must be sent in for repair. What! I have to ship it away!
That is exactly what I did, I took it in to the Camera store to be sent in for a warranty repair. The shutter had locked up. Now every photographer has a backup camera, and I have mine…the D80 I was shooting with prior to the D750. Ron (husband) was leaving for a trip and made sure my batteries for the D80 were charged, and he took one charger with him as he carries a D90 for backup. We weren’t worried about not knowing where the other charger was, as I had my D750 to shoot with anyway. Then it locks up. Now I’m not doing as much shooting because I am trying to preserve battery power.
What I can’t figure out is where the charger went. I swear I will never let that man put away anything important again. One year he handled hiding a Christmas present for our son, we didn’t find it until almost a year later! Now he knows he put the charger in a box, doesn’t remember what box, doesn’t remember where the box went.
So, that is my past two weeks. The frustrations of a photographer who has temporarily lost their favorite camera and is trying to preserve battery power on their back-up as they have no charger. It has to get better from here…

Your story is very interesting. I feel your frustration. I hope, however, that you remain soft and gentle on him. Things like this are a clear indication that you need each other’s shoulders to lean on. Thanks for your beautiful story. I know how loved he will feel if after his lapses you still lean on him and say “I love you.”

Oh, I’m not mad. We have our 34th Anniversary on the 12th of September and this is just a “given” that our now adult kids even laugh about — if Dad puts anything away for safekeeping it is definitely safe because no one can find it later.

Lol I’m the same way….it’s in a “safe” place meaning somewhere NO ONE will be able to find it and touch it….if I could only remember where it was when I needed said item I would be golden!! Guess I know where I got it from!!
