Are you just looking on the camera or have you plugged the card into the computer? The only thing I can think of is that he created a new folder and it's not letting you access the old one

If you put the card in a card reader can you copy the photos over to your computer? If they are not on the card, you can get software to recover the photos as long as you don't format the card.
