and now for some good news.....

Whew, after four months of backing up files, and working through tech support I have located and corrected the root cause of the problem by installing a recently published RAID driver update from LaCie. I recovered 100% of my pictures from the last 7 years. This means that I now have access to all 40,000+ photos shot in October and capacity to start working on new panoramics. Look for new works to start coming out later this month! As a preview here are a few of the Scouting shots from the Cherohala Skyway expeditions. There are 7 images to view (the numbered file names at the top of the image). These images are all less than 2 Gigapixels, but you can still zoom a good bit on most of them.
