My little 4+ year old girl loves to see what papa is doing in der
dark-bedroom vith der red light. I would often let her step on the light
switch and see the exposure turn on and off. Then we would put the paper in
the developer and watch the image come to life. She knows that she is now
allowed to go near the wet bench and touch the chemicals.
To me there's nothing like a hard copy and IMO silver halide is the way to
archival(ity). One day, an E-bomb might just pop in your vicinity and
that's sayonara to all your digital images, palmtop info and circuitry in
your N**** and C**** masterpieces. My Leica-M will still go on strong
clicking away.
