A black and white? ;-) What we seem to be forgetting is that if preserving your images is important to us, we will make it a point to transfer them to the storage media of the moment when the media and moment change.

To my grandmother is probably wasn't terribly important, to me it is. After saying that I took, and filed, about 300 rolls of B&W film negatives last year, I expect them all to go to landfill when I'm gone.

All of this discussion of archival media is fascinating, but would anyone on this list of hobbyists and working pros care to tell us what loss it would be to the world if some of our images faded a bit or just plain disappeared... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
