Day 19: Sunrise

Day 19

The only sketch during my two week holiday. The first leg of my international flight was early enough that I had the opportunity to watch the sunrise. I loved how the airplane wing contrasted against the colorful sky. When I took out my camera to photograph the sunrise, the following message appeared on the camera: "Memory card needs to be formatted."  With a five-hour flight ahead, panic would have been useless. Instead I sketched the sunrise and boarded my plane. When something unexpected happens, don't let it ruin your present moment. Enjoy the moment, and then find a solution. Of course, I immediately purchased a memory card when I landed at the next airport. I like to joke with people that only two items are essential for travel: a passport and a credit card. In this case, it was true. No memory card, use the credit card.

Have you experienced a memory card failure during an important event, and what did you do?
