the other day peter tried to upload some of his pictures onto our computer, but our computer rejected him because it didn't have enough hard drive space. so pete suggested i delete some things and burn some things onto cd, in particular pictures and music, to free up some space. so i did. i deleted lots of music, and then i started backing up all our photos, burning them onto cd. after i'd burned a few cds, i put those photos into the trash. then i emptied the trash. then i suddenly had a TON of space on my hard drive and NO pictures in my iphoto library.
i don't know how, but somehow i deleted my entire iphoto library. sad, sad day. i took the computer to a "mac genius" at the mall but he wasn't genius enough to undo whatever i did. so most of our pictures are gone. what a lesson in impermanence!
we do still have access to the pictures i've posted on here and on flickr, and the few cds i burned before the fiasco, so not all is lost. but i imagine some of you have pictures from our lives on your own computers or in your email folders, or backed up in some responsible place. would you email those to us? in particular, if any of you have photos of things that aaron has made, we'd love to rebuild his portfolio. or maybe you could take pictures of things he's made and we'll add them in. hopefully one of these days he'll have his own flickr page dedicated to the things he's crafted.
we've learned our lesson, i swear. i'm only human. the computers win!
