That's too bad. I love my digital camera, too. I try to
take pictures of everything I make, I wish I had done that
over the last 60+ years.... or not! That would be a huge
album.

Digital cameras make life much simpler in many ways. Talking of
historical albums of pictures, I know my Dad has some pictures of my
Grandma's work. Grandma sewed professionally and I'm told she was very
skilled - she seems to have taken pictures of her work on the wearer's -
as shots of strange people pop up regularly in the family photo albums!
Such a pity she got altzheimers then died before I was old enough to
teach proper dressmaking - she did teach me a little hand sewing.

I don't think so!!! I spent most of today going through 6
year's worth of digital images, which I have a very bad
habit of uploading to the harddrive then ignoring.
Searching for pictures of the last several birthdays my
aunt-brother-sister-and-I celebrated together in order to
make prints for them convinced me that I HAVE to have a
better system.

It's wonderful that you have the pictures, and sad that she
wasn't able to share her skills with you.

Digital is easier and certainly far cheaper. I have a metal box filled
with little metal tubes that have negatives in them. Strips of
negatives. They stink. I need to get contact sheets done so I can find
out if there's anything on the film worth saving. I suspect there's
lots of footage of early airplanes that would be valuable to someone, so
I can't just toss them out. I leave them sealed in the metal box, safe.
Odorfree that way, too.

I have no argument with that. My problem is, where I might
have taken two pictures using film to be sure I had at least
one good shot, I now take tens. That means I have a lot of
duplicates, which I have to look at full screen before
weeding out the not-so-good shots. I do appreciate that I
don't actually have to make prints of all the losers.

If they have historical significance you might send some of
these folks an inquiry:
http://www.nasm.si.edu/ (Smithsonian National Air and Space
Museum)
http://www.sprucegoose.org/ Evergreen Aviation and Space
Museum)
http://www.museumofflight.org/ (The Museum of Flight)
http://www.neam.org/ (New England Air Museum)
It would be a real shame if they disintegrated, and film
eventually will as I understand it.
