I've re-edited this photo a little, including, I hope, correcting the "lean to the left"...

The main point is that with minimal care negs, especially BW ones, will last a long, long time, a hundred years or more, fairly easily. None of our memory cards, HDs, CDs, DVDs will last that long. Even more of a problem is that the format of the files on those devices will become unreadable too. BBC LaserDisk anyone? Not only do we need multiple copies, those copies have to be moved from device to device, and occasionally converted from one format to another. Electronic archiving is a much more pro-active process than archiving physical materials like paper or film. The argument that we should get rid of paper archives and "just" digitize everything is extremely naive.

Thanks Peter. I spent a couple of hours in Newington cemetery and could easily have spent a few more.

I was a bit surprised to come across a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the Calton Hill Old Cemetery in Edinburgh. It is a monument to Scottish-American soldiers, presumably ones who fought in the US Civil War.

I was dusting the other week and discovered a roll of film in my Pentax KX. I sent it off to be developed with the latest batch of films. When it came back I found the images start in Southwold (holiday in 2013) and end at Fawsley Church (visited in 2016...) Oops.
