[AC Question]

Just loaded the lollipop edition and lost all my photographs,

I had extensive photo gallery on my SD card, all gone. How can that be recovered.

I have an LG G3 Verizion.

Did you make a backup or have the photos sync to a cloud based service such as Google Drive? If not, then you won't be able to restore any photos. Updating to the latest version of Android shouldn't have deleted the photos. Something either before or after the update caused the deletion. My assumption is that you may have accidentally formatted the SD card without realizing what it was going to do.

Just in case, log into your Google Drive and see if the photos are there (hopefully they are). In the future, be sure to keep a backup somewhere safe to prevent this from happening again.
