As my current desktop computer sits idle having produced smoke and sparks from the power supply, I am reminded why film is sometimes worth the hassle. Unsure whether my digital files are still intact with years of pictures potentially gone, my rolls of developed film sit neatly undisturbed in their box. Yes, I have backups here and there but nothing recent and noted my computer has lasted eight years or so which in digital terms is about eighty. Whilst its certainly time to revisit my workflow from emulsion to electrons at least now I know my important images are safe.
On the bright side I have 2 rolls of Ektachrome on the way and a roll of Ektar 100 half finished in the camera!
