Woe betide any poor souls who rely on digital media entirely. 'Oh dear we
had a hard drive crash lastr night and all our wedding photos,
pictures of the kids with mom and pop when they were stiil with us, the
kids growing up - all gone!'
I recently got hold of a trunk full of family photos, many going back to
the last century, and I don't mean that starting with 1900. I dread to
imagine what I would have, or more likely wouldn't, if digital media had
been used back then for image capture and storage, particularly magnetic
based media.
I will stick to silver halide photography, and I have no problems with
being a member of a small minority.
