Reflecting back at the trip, I don’t know if I really contributed enough than what I should have. I mean the trip was completely paid for by donations and I feel as though I might have wasted it. I took plenty of pictures, but maybe I could have used up more film. If I had brought back 10 rolls of used film and used up all my digital cards, could I have called the trip a success on my part? Could I have helped more people? Given out more smiles? Counted more pills than the bare minimum I had done before? Camera work was a wimpy job. Just point and shoot. Nothing like filling up 100s of water bottles each and every day.
I’m disappointed in a way because I could have done more. I could have been a better force in getting things done instead of staying in the background. Was I vital to the trip? Nope. Things function without me.
And I was able to recover about 75% of the pictures which I previously thought were lost….using a friend’s Norton disk recovery utility. I may try going to a specialist, but I’m pretty satisfied with the results now, if nothing else can be fixed.
