This goes along with my thoughts, which was also echoed in an article that
was recently on the BBC web site (so it must right then!)..... Basically I
believe one of the up-sides of film photography is that you print everything
and only keep the good ones to hand. The not-so good ones normally end up in
a box in the loft where they stay for 20+ years.
When 20 / 30 / 40 + years have passed you find this amazing archive of
forgotten images/memories/people that becomes a real family treasure.... one
of my favourite pictures of my Dad (who died in 1970) was one of him digging
the garden when he'd rather have been watching the telly. With a digital
system that photo would have been discarded much to my and the family's
detriment.
Does anyone else agree?
