The Last Images Rescued from My iPhone Before it Died

Door (M.A. Reilly, 3.12.12)
The last images that I rescued after my iPhone fell into a lake this morning are represented in this video.  I was out making images at a botanical garden this morning.  On my way home I stopped by a lake near my home and walked out on a very narrow dock. I wanted to shift from taking images with my iPhone to using my Nikon.  As I went to put the phone in my pocket it slipped out of my hand and fell into the lake.

Need I tell you how cold lake water is in March?  Well I rescued the phone, went home, and was able to download the images.  The phone died after the download.

Here's a look:)

  1. Fittingly elegaic, and yet with hints of rebirth. Lovely. RIP, iPhone.

    When I saw the one of the dock, my monkey mind filled in, "A dock to nowhere."

  2. Oh no! Hope you didn't lose too many pictures. I have heard putting a phone in a bowl of dry rice sometimes will help get all of the moisture out. Glad you didn't fall in!

    1. I lost no pictures. It cost me a bit of $ and time:) Had to get a new phone as the moisture ruined the phone part of the phone.

  3. You may be able to save your phone. Put it in a bowl of rice, and put that bowl in the refridgerator (but not in the coldest part of the fridge, you don't want it to freeze) and then wait 2 days.

    Great pictures! :)

    1. Thanks for the advice David, but I got a new one. The phone went on the phone and it got worse throughout the day.
