Odd, isn't it, but I haven't heard about many people saying that that's
happened to them. On the other hand, Jacque Lowe's entire archive of JFK
negatives - that he had stored in a Chase Manhattan Bank vault for safe
keeping, were destroyed when one of the World Trade Towers collapsed on
top of the basement vault.

It's 10 O'Clock - Do you know where all your precious negatives are? ;-)

Maybe whoever makes the decisions on new camera designs had all his
digital 
photos wiped out by a hard drive failure and bad CDs, and realized that 
maybe film wasn't dead after all. ;-)
