Archivability is the major reason why I'm still shooting film.
I don't do photography for a living, so every photograph I shoot for
myself. I want to be able to look back over my life and development as
photographer even when I'm 90 years old in a rocking chair.
With film I know I can at least look at the negatives with a loupe, if
enlarging and scanning is no longer available in future.
I have computer diaries from 1995 which are lost to me because the CD-R
is no longer readable.
I'm a computer geek, but I prefer the tangibility of film over digital,
for now.
