Aeons ago I decided to gather and preserve all Latvian LARP photos I could reach. The archive grew. But the fate has other plans. With inevitable rise of the monstrosity of social networks and shotform content, indie projects died one by one. As mine changed the owner and successfully died as well. Yet something told me it not the time to forget. Little that I knew that the hard drive holding the copy of my collection was counting it's last days.
18 years passed. My Tech-Priest skills grew to the point I could finally replace burned components on the hdd's board. The night was in it's reign, lightnings tore the sky as I threw my hand in the air and screamed "IT"S ALIVE!"
But the battle only began. Bad blocks coved 70% of the disk surface glowing like with red like hellfire. Try after try, separating necrosis from healthy tissue I finally gathered everything I could. And oh boy... It was worth it. Evidence of ancient history. Portraits, of those who left us forever and those who returned appeared from the ashes. At least half of my collection was saved!
Now, would you like to have some cringe and uncontrollable laughs?
Would you like to see more? :D

QUICK UPDATE: Thanks to @AndrisAdumans who sent the link, I don't have to do that freaking sorting job at all! You can view it all right now! And the archive was alive all along!
Right here: https://fotki.lv/lv/Ljuba_/
All praise our comrade Ljuba. I think it covers everything more or less, just couple of galleries missing. But guess what? Now since I have to do less, I will surely grab some photos. And write. The story story time will come!
Look at this intelligent face, it sure has memories.

I'm taking the hobbits to Isengard bringing my cameras to The Day of Silver.

On the last call, as always. No role, no costume. A ghost, with freedom to observe (and obviously help out DMs if needed). Expect another piece of my incredible LARP journalism soon!
