I had a similar problem a couple of years ago, but I was able to recover

still mostly lost. I'm not worried about off site backups so much, the
biggest fear being fire, and then the photographs are the least of my
worries.

I got some GREAT shots while I was out there! Unfortunately, they're all

don't have the resources to try to recover them. Every shot I ever took
before this past July -- GONE.
Oh man, that's painful just to read!
