Backed Up

About a month ago I realized that my photos from 1998 to 2006 were not on the hard drive. I of course realized this right after a reformat of my computer. I wasn’t too concerned at the time as I didn’t really look for them and assumed they had just been accidentally moved to another folder. Turns out they had actually been accidentally deleted at some point as tonight when I tried to go through these images to finish a post I started before the new year (also to try and find some path images for Lynn), I realized that they were gone. I started to get a little worried, and normally would have freaked out but was too tired tonight to go into full frantic-mode. Dave had a look at the hard drive with me and confirmed that they were in fact missing. Before I could get too worked up, Dave remembered my initial method of backing up my photos (pre-hard drive): CDs and DVDs. It seems like an almost archaic method of backup now, but it worked. I found my photos and am currently putting them back on the hard drive (and laptop).
They will work as a form of entertainment for a few hours as I go through the last 12 years in photo form.
