Shout Out

I'd like to give a HUGE shout out to Tim Hartman for recovering my pictures last night after almost 2 hours of trying different things out.

As most of you know I have stepped out in my photography and am trying to have a little business with it. Well, last Thursday morning I had a photo shoot for two brothers both graduating from high school. It was the first time taking pictures of someone I had never met. I bought a brand new memory card on Wednesday night, took a few pictures with it to make sure it worked properly, got ready for the photo shoot in the morning, and went to bed. Thursday morning came, I met the family, took a TON of pictures of the two brothers, and went to work. Friday afternoon I went to upload the pictures, all 370 of them, only to find out that they weren't uploading properly. Every single picture had a portion of it covered up by a solid gray section. I tried uploading again. No luck! I tried it on Kurt's computer and on both of my bosses computers. Still...no luck. I was doing my best, thinking "this is OK, it will work out somehow, don't get stressed out". I was dreading having to call the family and explain what had happened. I took the memory card to CVS and copied a few of the pictures onto a CD to see if this would work. I had a little better luck this time...about half of the pictures I copied had the gray portion covering the picture. Now, what?

Thankfully, Tim was able to come to my rescue!!! I couldn't be more grateful to him for solving the problem. He still is puzzled as to what happened exactly and he could explain a bunch of things that I couldn't, but one thing is for sure. I have all 370 pictures on my computer and I can know get to editing and get these pictures into the right hands...

Thanks again Tim!!!! You are a computer/camera genius!!!!! Be expecting a meal for you and your wife sometime next week!!! and maybe some cookies!!!
