Somewhere, in the last two weeks, I was shooting photographs. At some point, I decided to switch from my 18-70mm zoom and use my 50mm fixed lens. Something, I think, must have distracted me and somehow I just kept on shooting.

Someplace, I left my Nikon lens sitting, glass down, and there it remained.

I didn't realize it until tonight when I noticed the empty pouch in my camera bag. It is gone. Long gone. Forever. Some lucky person picked up a nice piece of glass for free. This has to be the biggest, most expensive mistake I've ever made.

...well, biggest and most expensive mistake that involved my money.

God dammit. It's not even the loss of the lens or the money I paid for it, it is just that I forgot it and was that absent minded at that moment with something that important. Somebody smack me, hard.
