I'm older than you and I...George, you are so right. I'm older than you and I have this fear that when I'm gone my kids will not know what to do with all the prints, negs (of which I have considerable)and digital files (of which the storage devices will become outdated) etc. While they might hang on to them for a while, eventually they will go to the dump.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently scanning images from a Mexican church project that I did that the negs are now 10-15 years old. I started scanning them at 1200 dpi because my thought was that I'd do a book with the images and that size would be big enough but I've been wondering if I should be scanning them larger. <BR/><BR/>And the other issue for me is that going back and doing this isn't nearly as interesting as making new images. I challenge myself to scan so many a week but tomorrow I'll have 4 new rolls from the Holga and I doubt if I can force myself to work on the old negs until I've played with the new ones. <BR/><BR/>Getting organized is hard to do.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.com
