I’ve accumulated a lot of photos recently, from travel and walks through groves of autumn color.

Today I sat down to post some. But…

When I launched Lightroom the window that should have displayed the photos was blank. Both my primary and secondary external hard drives had errors that Disk Utility couldn’t fix. I have no idea why.

Not sure how to approach this yet, but I will likely spend several more hours sorting things out.

Sometimes I really miss film, a light box, and a loupe.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Rick. Sometimes I feel that you are to computers what Dave Brooks is to spell-checkers.

I feel your pain. I lost about four years' work due to a hardware failure (exacerbated by my own stupidity) and have hardly picked up a camera since.
