![]() But that was of little consolation even if I had the image in my mind, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I lost a part of me. So even if I couldn’t find my images in my catalog because they were lost, I knew I had them in my mind. One is real and in your computer, and the ghost one is in your mind. But it another sense it made me realize that for every picture there is actually two, the actual image and the ghost image. There’s some years in my catalog that I simply do not go to because they are empty, they only serve to remind me of what I lost. I personally remember every photo I made and I need to see them to relive the moments and the moments around the time of capture. Here’s the things I’ve learned in the meantime 1) It nags youįirst thngs first, losing your images nags you, and I mean NAGS you, it’s like someone selected some years of your life and clicked delete….you feel a part of you missing. It’s been years now and I still have my dead hard drive that still hopes to be brought back alive. I lost everything and haven’t had a full backup at all. Sending it to be recovered would have proved costly, most of the recovery places are expensive as is for something like 500gb, now imagine sending in one of the largest hard drives available at the time! I sent it to a place that allowed for a free send-in to see if they could fix it. Trying to reconnect it, I heard a click click click and my drive couldn’t be recognized. For whatever reason I tripped on the power cord, and heard a BANG! Dang it I told myself, knowing what happened but hoping for otherwise….I looked…My heart sank, the drive was on the floor. One day I was working with my laptop and drive on the bed, since this was a large drive that needed to be charged, it was plugged in. So I got a large 4tb external one and used it without any problem. Since I deal with images and even more so because I am a freelance photographer, I quickly outgrew my internal hard drive, I think it was 1 terabyte at the time. I recommend it for any user who has a hodge podge of files scattered everywhere that he/she would like to have better organized.Crashing my hard drive is probably one of the worse things that happened to me as a photographer, here’s what happened and the things I learned along the way. I am pleased with GoodSync, but I am a user who is accustomed to FTP GUIs and even command line FTP. I synced about 5 GB of photographs in 10 minutes, compared to well over an hour through manual means.
