Today we mourn the loss of the digital camera belonging to a Sherri Christine Dill, 19.
The camera, a Kodak 8 megapixel Easy-Share with 5x optical aspheric lens, died this past Thursday night, April 14th, 2011, in its temporary home of Santander, Spain.
The cause is believed to be theft, but is as of yet, unknown.
In its four month career, this accomplished and celebrated Kodak documented several amazing places and many a night out on the town, reccounting many stories that none would believe actually occured had there not been photos. This camera's lens had seen the likes of Santander, Bilbao, Salamanca, Santillana del Mar, Las Cuevas de Altamira (kind of), Barcelona, Dublin, and Paris. It also had plans to travel to Los Picos, El Soplao, San Vicente, Rome, Pisa, Florence, Venice, and Madrid, and even was going to return to its original home of North Carolina. However, due to Thursday's tragedy, these dreams will, unfortunately, not be realized.
This particular Kodak will be remembered fondly, for its ability to capture the moment at the most spontaneous beck and call, and for its unique attention to the most minute detail.
"My Kodak did any beautiful scene justice," Said previous owner, Sherri Dill last Friday morning. "All my friends were really jealous when they looked at my pictures on FaceBook."
Kodak Easy-Share was manufactured in Japan and made its way to a Staples store in North Carolina, USA in the year 2010. It was purchased by Brian Stewart and then made its way to the intended owner, Sherri Dill, on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2010. The camera earned its own 5 albums on Dill's FaceBook, including over 750 photos. Dill admits to missing the camera dearly, saying that none will be able to fully replace it.
Memorial arrangements have not yet been released.
