Irving: All our photos are safely stored on the computer! Cathy: What if the computer crashes? Irving: They're backed up to an Internet storage site! Cathy: What if the site goes down? Irving: They're backed up to an external, portable hard drive! Cathy: What if the external drive fails? Irving: They're backed up to CD! Cathy: What if the CDs deteriorate??? Irving: They're backed up to a tape drive stored in a climate-controlled vault!! Cathy: What if the technology changes and tape is no longer readable by the equipment of the day??? Cathy: At least we'll always have the prints. Irving: What if they weren't printed on acid-free, archival paper with non-fading, water-resistant ink?? Then. One photo of one event in one album in one attic. Now: Old obsessions: finding ourselves. New obsession: Preserving ourselves.
Some day my “prints” will come…. ;-) Seriously, there are some days that I semi-panic over potentially losing all of my digital photos, but I guess it’s no different than paper prints being lost in a fire. I’ve already planned that in case of a disaster, grab the computer (after the kids and cats of course) and go!
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Sunday and happy October! Appropriately, the weather turned cooler today and I’m loving it! Have a great day, all!
