Hmm, I looked through everything, and I don't see anything wrong. A certain variable stores the number of unique items you've taken pictures of (0-6), and I checked that this variable always increments when you take a certain item's picture the first time, and never again after that. I also checked to make sure that no typos were causing that variable to be reset or decremented anywhere, which is the only way I can see buggy behavior coming into play.

Now what might have happened, but would not be accountable to buggy code, is a freak occurrence of a game file being corrupted and having some of the variables' values changed. This has actually happened in the past before to a few POAT games.

(I peeked at a game file "ryacam2" which hasn't been touched since May 1 -- if that's the game in which this happened, I can tell you that the first time you went back to Hawson you had forgotten the missing artifact picture, so you had only 5 of the 6 at that point -- so this wouldn't have been a bug.)
