Some of you may already know this tip but for those that don't I thought I would share.

Your cameras CF cards/Memory cards are very important. If you misplace one... say you drop it in the grass when switching cards at a wedding or a session, you would really want it back. If someone finds it do you have it labeled with your contact information? A simple phone number or email address will do. Even better a note saying "Reward if found"
