I had two shots I had done on 8"x12" sheets, with a pinhole style camera. These were probably my favorite photos I have ever made, and I spent nearly 6hrs and $30 worth of paper on EACH photo.

Im still in the process of moving into my room, and my portfolio had been knocked off of its box onto the floor, and things had kinda spilled out. I just hadnt taken the time to group it all back and get all that stuff into my closet.

Well, the dog took a huge shit all across my stuff. My two prized photos got the majority of it.

Now, had my dad taken the time to clean up the dogs mess after he saw it, the pigment wouldnt have been lifted out of the picture. However, since he just closed my door so it wouldnt stink up the house, the pictures are damaged beyond repair.

I cleaned up the shit as fast as possible, and ripped my photos off their mount, and throw them into a tank of warm water to clean them, but the pigment is already gone. The photos are saved, but theres a huge stripe down both of them.

Words do not even begin to be able to describe how pissed I am right now. Oh, then the nerve of my mom to compare this to the time the dog chewed a hole in the couch. Yes, this is exactly like the time you had to buy a $50 slip cover to throw over the $100 used couch you just bought. Yup, exactly like that. My priceless, irreplaceable prints give me the exact same feelings you had when your cheap couch got ruined. Hell, not even ruined. We still have the fucking couch, and it looks better with the covers than it ever did without them. The dog did her a favor by making her buy those slip covers.

Ugh, I swear. My family just has no appreciation for anything meaningful.

Do you still have the film to replace them?

Your dog shit on your photos.

ROFL

Sorry for being insensitive, but you gotta admit, in five years time...

Leik, OMG

So you're gonna kill a harmless animal because of some photos?
>_>
You're pathetic.

The dog can be replaced. I saved his sorry ass, I damn sure can kill him if I please.

And these arent "some photos". Did you miss the part about me spending hours on each of them, not to mention some money? Or how about the fact that these photos can NEVER be reproduced. These are the originals, and the only copy. In fact, even if I had wanted copies of them, its such a pain in the ass to make a decent print of a photo that was taken on photo paper, it probably would have never gotten done anyways.

Aww Muffin. Those poor photos. //rolls eyes.

Who gives a shit? It's just money that you can make again.
Have a fucking heart you asshole. You don't kill a dog because of SOME photos.
Grow up.

Wow damn

On everything else I have printed, yes.

However, I had gone to great lengths and considerable effort to make a fairly large pinhole camera (it printed on 8x12 sheets) and thats what I had taken these with.

Therefore, these were the originals, only copies, and aside from photocopying them, there would have been no way to really copy them, and that of course wouldnt really make a deserving copy.

Ugh....I kinda hate myself because I never cleaned up my stuff, but I mostly hate the damn dog and my dad for what happened. The pictures would have been safe, with minimal damage if my dad had gone in there and cleaned it up after it happened.

Anyway, even though the photos are "ruined", sounds like there's enough of it left to show people what you've done (for the portfolio). Even if it's no longer good enough to display.

That being said, however, you could have had the foresight to shut the door to your room...
