Yesterday i upgraded from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6. Most of my 15,000 images vanished, including those in numerous folders. When I click on the white space (which has a square in the center) I get a gray square with an intermittent white line. In the center is a small black circle with an exclaimation mark which almost fills the circle. I am an essayist and luckily made DVD's of the very best images. But the second or third stringers are also very good. Are the images retreivable? They represent 5 years of work. I have recently lost my health and could never hope to replicate the shots. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Look in your pictures folder/iPhoto Library Folder, navigate through all those folders named by the years and go through the numbered folders, do you see the pictures in the Finder?
If you do you are safe. You would be better off to move all of the photos out of the iPhoto Libray Folder and delete iPhoto Folder. Relaunch iPhoto and drop all the pictures back into it.
If it's the worse you may have to look into a recovery program with a second HardDisk to restore them
Good Luck
