I'd get a book on digital workflows and get a grasp on your basic software. Accessibility is a reason to for digital not a reason against it. We people older than 40 need to be able to learn more things. For decades I ran into people who had a closet of yellow boxes filled with slides with no clue as to what was in the boxes. And it seemed little care. To find a slide could have taken a year 5 days a week 5 hours a day. They shoot a roll of film. Get it back. Look at it. Never to be seen again. That level of dilettanteness is hard to repeat or justify in this digital age. Digital is way more hands on. - there's this thing thing called keywords. And folders in chorological order all kinds of searchable labeling. If I met you at a thing 4 years ago I could find the image in a minute and so could most people. Mark William Rabiner
