Snap!..










A Kodak 110 in 1977. An iphone last Friday! Kids at Weddings! Nothing changes, eh? But it makes me think about the 'so-called' worry over the archiving of digital files. All that head-shaking over the fact that phone/digital camera shots are simply viewed a few times and then deleted. Yet nobody's asking that young girl from the Seventies where her prints are, are they? Nobody's checking that her negatives are properly filed in acid free packaging! So nobody will ever have any idea what her shots were like, what the bride's dress was like, what the car she arrived in looked like! Unless .. ah, relax .. there was a professional photographer there! Phew ..
