cidereye Posted December 3, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2009 Yes, saw that in this weeks BJP mag - even the photographer Mark Estabrook was shocked that they all turned out so well after so long. Well done to Ilford too for doing such a good job on them! Great seeing unseen pics of a younger Bawb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted December 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2009 Fine shot of Dylan. The ascendance is digital imaging has not made conventional silver photography obsolete - just underused. Silver based images are the longest lasting medium available so far. If I have a little time before the image has to be shown, I will continue to use film.

mhulbert Posted December 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2009 And, of course, it is also a matter of how long negs last after development. I have a bunch of negatives that I took close to 30 years ago (I am sure lots of folks here do) and, pretty much without exception, they are all absolutely fine. Multiple brands -- HP5, FP4, TriX, etc. And of course there are negs out there a whole lot older than that that are still almost perfect (e.g., the 126 rolls of negatives that were discovered recently that Capa and others shot in the Spanish Civil War -- I saw the prints -- they were great, after 70 years of storage). There really is a great case to be made for the archival value of film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
