【文章內容簡介】 n 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining waterspotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修復) photos, she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. It felt so good to be able to do that for them, says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the munity newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used hightech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave39。s blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had s from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help. Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn39。t bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. I didn39。t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did, Emily says. Almost every day I think about all the pictures I39。ve lost. I39。m so happy to have these two. In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make copy runs to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors。 operating costs are covered by donations. It39。s great to be able to give people some of their history back, says Rebecca. One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this.（1）When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to .

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years. At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam39。s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盤）being invaded, but we decided to risk it. We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning. At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together。 when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years. Then, without any warning, Sa
