Photographs lost

Except the ones I've posted over the last week, I've lost the photos that I took on last week's excursion into the historical Berry province. I didn't have that many left to post, but there were two or three more that I took inside the church in Brinay and a few more that I took at Noirlac. What happened? Well, I copied the photos to a USB flash drive and before I had a chance to post them to a backup on an SSD, the flash drive went kaput. Windows can't see it all. I imagine the photos are still on there, but I don't know how to get them to show up so that I can copy them to a different disk. Such is life in the computer age. So here are some photos that I took at Noirlac in 2009, when I went there with CHM.

The line of linden trees above was planted about 220 years ago, I was told.

  1. That's a "reet bugaroo".... it isn't a SanDisk by any chance, is it? I've got multiple, unused free downloads of RescuePRO Deluxe if you need one.
    And surely the photos are still on the card in the camera??
    That is a lovely line of lime trees... we are going to need shade like that in the years to come.

  2. Not sanDisk, but Kingston. 8 or so years ago I had two of these Kingston flash drives crash this way, and Kingston replaced them for free. Now the "new" ones are doing the same. I have two, only one of which still works. Unfortunately, I moved rather tha copies the iimages from the in-camera card. Can I get a free download of Rescue Pro Deluxe? I'll try.

  3. Remember the time when we mailed our film to be printed? It was cheaper that way. In 1970 I did that with the first photos of our newborn son and they were lost forever. I didn't repeat that mistake. I love photos on my phone. Hope the Rescue Pro will work.

    1. Back in 1998, Sue and I went to Death Valley. I took a lot of pictures — three or four rolls of film. It was so beautiful. Back in SF, I took the film to a store downtown to be developed. When I went back to get the pictures four or five days later, I was told that their equipment had malfunctioned and all my photos were destroyed. The replaced the rolls of film but they couldn't replace the pictures. Later in '98, I got my first digital camera.
