Digital BW, The Print

“I still have the old analog negative to fall back on”
Unless there is a fire, or they are stolen....  Once experienced, a
significant building fire will change the way you think about a number of
things.

I think the one overriding concern I have which has kept me from
getting into digital still work is the storage problem. I look at
those B&W Negatives and think that 100 years from now there will still
be someway to make a print from them. I know that folks in the
business of archiving are calling this the unstable time because of
the advancement of technology and the rate at which a once seemingly
standardized system becomes obsolete or is found not to be reliable. I
keep all my scans on hard drives and CD's but if anything should
happen to them I still have the old analog negative to fall back on.

If none of this bothers you then who cares. I agree that digital iis
tust another tool.
