@amcewen @brpimages I think you're right - even though the imperfection of the focus bugs me, it definitely tells a more interesting story.

And humbled to be even slightly compared to that image by @brpimages - it's got such a strong story to it, I really love that image.

@brpimages @amcewen I suspect those of us who care about our images look after them irrespective of format?

My digital photo catalogue goes back almost 21 years at this point - not quite half way there, but it'll definitely make it to that way I'd say.

I agree a lot will be lost, but I imagine that the negatives to most my childhood has been similarly lost - good family photos go in albums, but rarely the negatives for most folk?

@brpimages @amcewen many times yes!

Even on a personal scale, I went through my photo archive properly for the first time during the initial lock down, and there were photos in there from the 00s that I'd ignored before, and probably a less retain-ist mindset would have thus deleted, but now a combination of my changed tastes and improved editing ability helped me find gems in them.
