Keith (M) Posted November 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pigeon Peril! Re-filing some of my negatives today (as one does), came across this one from circa 1973 or 4. On HP4, probably taken with a Mamiya C3. I wonder if my digital files will still be so readily accessible in forty years time? Not that I will be around anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spydrxx Posted November 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 1, 2013 I occasionally still (scan and/or print) from my 1950s & 60 negatives and slides and the results are just great. The digital stuff will probably be erased by my grandkids. On the plus side: 1) Last year I came across a distant (geographic and ancestral) middle aged relative, who was seeking info about her father's family most of whom she never knew except by old family stories. I had just finished scanning a lot of pictures of them, starting around 1912, which I had collected over the years. She was elated to be able to put faces to names and events she had only heard about. 2) A couple of weeks ago I was looking thru some of my scans of slides from a mid-1950s family vacation we had taken, in which we spent several weeks with a famous sculptor who with his family left the bustling NY art world to live the Robinson Crusoe life on a tiny remote island in the Caribbean. Some of the slides had pictures of both him and his kids. I got to thinking that my father probably never shared them, and the kids would be in their 70-80s now if still alive. I Googled them and found part of the family still living on the island, and sent them the shots, which they had never seen....They were delighted with the memories they brought back of their pioneer-style living in the early days of settling the island.

Doc Henry Posted November 2, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 2, 2013 I would add that almost all of my photos on CD I have "liseraie" on edge and are thus unusable The numerical solution is good for the immediate side when you take a photo, but for archiving, we do not have enough experience because of time and software problems reading closely with Mac or PC computer system.If the system changes you can not read your photos But the film can do without this problem, how ? enlarger and printing paper Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpopescu Posted November 8, 2013 Share #11 Posted November 8, 2013 Great shot, just look at the clothes Beautiful, weren't they? I'll even take the huge mens' shirts collars and wide ties over the underwear sticking out of the jeans of today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted November 8, 2013 Share #12 Posted November 8, 2013 It's interesting to note the styles of dress and for instance consider how the young girl on the right would dress today, compared with the styles of the time - also consider the beautiful London Plane Tree in the background, which isn't there any more..

The image I posted was quite a crop from the original - the uncropped version may help to determine the location and presence of tree (or not)...
