Tom... I completely agree. But I'm not going to kick a guy while he was
down right? I mean, to this day, I don't know what his daughter looks
like...
Mistake #1: He used Windoze!! A reliable Operating System probably is the
key.
Mistake #2: Never wipe before you backup!
Mistake #3: BRING A BACKUP.
If there was a photographer at my wedding, and he only owns 1 camera, he
wouldn't be my photographer.. you know what I mean??
I agree, no difference in theory. But the fact of the matter is, negs are
MUCH harder to destroy, where as digital pics can be destroyed with a couple
of key strokes or a few mouse clicks..
But let that be a lesson to you all... I know I'VE learned..
