Digital BW, The Print

Francis,

We are not talking nescessarily of grest photographs but of daily life or working pictures as well. Fire, water..etc.. will destroy both digital & negs so it is not an issue. I maintain that archives are better off with negs than hard drives or CD's until some easier, cheaper and better quality solution arise.

  I have maybe 150 photographs over a period of 35 years
  that are worth holding on to,maybe 5 of those are not
  from film.People who worry about millions of files or
  negs have to learn how to edit.Who has a million great
  photgraphs? No one.  I had a huge fire 25 years
  ago,but my negs were spared.Do you think I would learn
  my lesson? Nah,everything is still in one place.I back
  stuff up,but its not for posterity,its so I don't have
  to play with a file again.Francis Ford
