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? I'd certainly love to be discovered after my death like a Disfarmer, but somehow I doubt that's in the cards. ;-) I find it fascinating that prior to the arrival on the scene of digital capture and printing, lists like this didn't waste allot of time on endless threads about the archival nature of film, prints, etc. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I look at prints of color photos my father took in the late 30s, 40s, and even the 50s, I can only smile at some of the truly bizarre color shifts. And btw, does everyone who is bemoaning the possible problems with digital storage have all their negatives catalogued, in archival envelopes, stored in a temperature controlled dust-free environment? Just curious. B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
