Central Standard Time, don.dory@gmail.com writes: The second example is a roll of 6X9 negatives that my grandmother had kept from her mothers family. They were images from just before to just after the 1927 flood on the Mississippi. The just before images show boats on the river at the very top of the levee, possibly fifty feet above flood stage at that location. The following images are of ten feet of water as far as the eye can see lapping at the porch of the plantation house. (When that house was built they respected the river and built anything of real importance way above ground) Today, those images will be at best on a hard drive in some landfill. Like Sonny, I am shooting film and labeling negatives. When I move to the dM I will have to print far more than I do now.
