Hot off the scanner.
Hey, digital photographers, a question for you. I took this photo 55 years ago, and the neg looks as good as it did the day it came out of the film dryer. If kept carefully (which I haven't done till now), it will no doubt last another 55. What do you figure the odds are that the family pics you take today will be this easily readable half a century from now?
Just asking.
