One of my biggest technical concerns about doing this project was making sure I could get all of my footage home.

I knew that sending all of the data through airport-security scanners could present some problems, and could ultimately ruin a week’s worth of work.

So every night I backed up the day’s raw video and still images to two separate hard-drives, as well as to my laptop–Which gave me three versions of each day’s work.

(I had also planned to upload each day’s media to my Dropbox every night–In essence taking it to “the cloud.” But limited connectivity nixed that option.)

When packing for the return home, I placed one hard-drive and my laptop in a carry-on, and the other hard-drive in a checked bag.

I haven’t had a chance to look at the checked-luggage hard-drive, but it looks like the carry-on’s made it through just fine, with everything in-tact.

(Whew!)

Here are some of pick-up shots from the week.
