Halloween
Published by Deanna Hoak November 1st, 2005 in blogI took adorable photos of the kids in their costumes last night, and the camera card refuses to acknowledge anything is on it. :-(
Blaine dressed as a vampire, with very dark eye makeup, gray rouge along her cheekbones, and bright red lipstick. Her costume had a full-length black hoop skirt and a red velvet bodice brocaded with black thorns. She looked awesome. Evan went as a lion and kept the costume on, with protest, for the entire 60 seconds it took me to take the photos. Thereafter he went as a two-year-old.
Wish I had the photos. :-( I keep jiggling this card around, but it’s not going to give them up.

Damn card!! It’s cursed! But the kids sound adorable in their costumes.
I hope you talk the card into the photos; they sound great.
BTW, I’ve renamed my spider plant Weaver!
It seems like a good time was had by all, even for Evan once he got his way. Blaine’s costume sounds incredible. She should dress up in it again, just so all of us selfish adults could see how it came out.
GET. THOSE. PHOTOS.
Blaine’s costume sounds GREAT!!
I didn’t go out, and we didn’t get any trick-or-treaters. :(
Are you viewing the camera card directly or via a photo-viewing software that may/may not have come with the camera. If the camera’s settings managed to somehow go to RAW you may not have the ability to access or view them (much less the computer may not recognize them)….hrmmm

Hm. Well, I just put the card in my computer as always, and then open it up in Windows as a file folder. It keeps saying the folder has 0 bytes, and doesn’t show any pictures. :-( (It oddly enough doesn’t say the folder is empty, though, which it usually does for empty folders.)
ergh! Is that through the right-click, properties? If it is, that may be bad news…. :( Try right-click::properties to take a look at the overall memory usage. Or go through ‘my computer’ to view it as a disk/folder then right-click::properties. I love digital, but sometimes…

Yeah, that’s with right-clicking properties while viewing it as a folder from “My computer.” :-(
:( I sowwy.
