Takes up needed space in the getaway car where a microwave or flat screen or tablet could be. I shot a model portfolio once and she died a few years later. A few years after that her parents called me they'd been broken in to. The crooks ran out with their TV and her model portfolio. One of those black leather ones brass zippers we used to use in the 70's and 80's with the plastic pages to put the pix in. Both the photographers and the models. One year we all went from 11x14 to 8x10. So they wanted it back it was in near the top of the list of their most prized positions. Of little value for a crook one would think. So we went through her file at my studio and they re ordered all the prints off of contacts. Also she was in a few of my fashion jobs so there was lots of stuff to go through it took an hour. So I spent all night printing only I did it not on RC paper but on fiber this time and I threw in a bunch of extra stuff they'd not have been aware of. So I felt good about that they were fixed twice and selenium toned for permanence. Dried on archival screens. A few decades into it I doubt they've faded or have stains. So they have that to remember their daugher by. Jill. We had the same birthday. People die by their prints take longer to fade.
