Photography Phrustrations

I'm sure that I took more photos of the inside of Patty Boland's Pub than I have on file on my computer.

The reason why it bothers me that I can't find them: Patty's - a hangout of mine because it was the meeting site of ByMUG from its founding in 2006 until we moved over to Shares last year in 2018 - is shutting down. Their lease is up, and the new management hasn't had an easy time of it. There's more to the story than I know, surely, but I can't chase it down right now. Our founder and leader, Tom Leroux, asked me to dig up what pix I can find that I took of several of our earlier meetings at Patty's. Been trying for the last hour or so to carry out that task. It looks like I took fewer images than either Tom or I remember.

There's one dating back to 2006, and it looks...corrupted with unwanted linework. I took it back when I used a Canon A70. And I can't seem to find many more of them. Frustrating.

Something happened to my old photos too - oddly corrupted and full of lines.

Weird that it's only happened to this one image of all 50,000 or so recorded across three camera-cameras, three cleverphone cameras, and sixteen years.

I don't like change. Especially in Ottawa, where I like to imagine it preserved in glass, exactly the same as it was during my undergrad there.
