Digital Vs. Film

2005-12-11 by Mr_Misty_44

I think the one overriding concern I have which has kept me from 
getting into digital still work is the storage problem. I look at 
those B&W Negatives and think that 100 years from now there will still 
be someway to make a print from them. I know that folks in the 
business of archiving are calling this the unstable time because of 
the advancement of technology and the rate at which a once seemingly 
standardized system becomes obsolete or is found not to be reliable. I 
keep all my scans on hard drives and CD's but if anything should 
happen to them I still have the old analog negative to fall back on.

If none of this bothers you then who cares. I agree that digital iis 
tust another tool.
