---Well, there is fade and then there is bullshit color shift, which is downright ugly and 
destructive. I certainly don't mind seeing a slightly faded Cezanne painting or Callahan 
silver print,  but one of those pathetic 20x24 polaroids or green dye transfer c prints is 
disgusting. Especially when you think about how much work some of those guys put into 
making them back in the 60's and 70's ( and now). There has been 20 years of beautuful 
type c prints that should just be trashed now because they are worthless pieces of plastic. 
100 years is not too much to ask, 200 is better, pollution will be the big factor though, not  
light.
