Lost your camera? Found one? Try ifoundyourcamera.net for help
You have to love a site that helps do something good. Canadian Matt Prepost has made a blog to help connect people with their lost cameras or memory cards. Only a month old and it’s already making a big splash and has reunited people with their memories. From BlogHerald:
It’s bound to happen to all of us. You snap some great shots with your digital camera, get sidetracked, and lose the darn thing. Then, all that’s left to do is pray that an angel will somehow bring the mega-pixel gadget back into your hands. That is, until now.
Thanks to the Ifoundyourcamera.net blog, the brainchild of 20-year-old Canadian student Matt Preprost, you have a fighting chance.
If you happen to find a camera, and believe that ‘what goes around comes around,’ you now have a venue to be a good Samaritan. Just e-mail at least two photos from the found camera, include details on where and when you found it, and the blog will attempts to get the orphan camera back home where it belongs. From BlogHerald
I wish I had known about ifoundyourcamera earlier this week because I found a 32 meg SD card on the ferry. It had fallen between a couple seats so I tried to make it obvious…now I could have brought it home, sent in a couple of the pictures, and might have been able to get the pictures back to the owner.
Simple idea, simple implementation, potentially great results.
Perfect.

Saw the site some time last month. I find it really interesting to see various stories of people whose pictures have been found. :) Amazing.

I lost my camera. Its a new Sony Digicam W55 model which contains 2 gig of pictures and videos I took from my trip to the U.S.
I left it @ Japan airlines seat. I came back for it after 10 minutes and it was gone! I hope the person who took it could return it to me. The plane landed to Ninoy International Airport, Philippines with JAL flight no. 745 @ around 11pm of March 23,2008. Am not sure if this website could help me on this.

I lost my camera at Santa Cruz Island off the California coast in October 2004. It’s probably off the coast of Antarctica, now, but here goes!
