Is there a way to get another iPhoto back on my MacBook Pro (retina,15” late 2013) computer?
The LaCie HD is corrupt, asking me to initialize disk. I haven’t as I’m afraid it will erase ALL of my photos.
Also any suggestions on who to take the external HD to to see if it is fixable would be appreciated.

Do you have a Time Machine backup or any other type of backup in place?
A Time Machine backup should have been backing up the iPhotos Library on the LaCie.
Yes initializing/reformatting will erase everything on the external drive.
Have you tried Disk Utility > Repair on the LaCie external drive?
see > Repair a disk using Disk Utility on Mac - Apple Support
Professional Data Recovery can be very expensive.

iPhoto moved to a now corrupt LaCie external drive.
