@Tai Chi,
I'm figuring someone else got them, and they thought, huh, and tossed them. Ominous quiet from the store, and they're not easy to call as each time I've called, there's no one in the photo department (and so on).
It's an odd system now anyway, having to do with all the changes in photography and not all of us being caught up with them. I haven't managed to master unloading from my digital canon to my computer (doh!) but my last best non digital nikon is somehow defunct, so I picked up a drugstore camera, the kind with film that you turn the camera in to the store after shooting the photos. And then they send them out to be developed, hence the followup mess.
Well, I still have the first photos taken the same way, back when I first got Katy.
Thank goodness.
