Eighteen years ago I had the privilege of photographing this now young man as he took his very first breaths in this world! It truly was an honor to be there to witness! The years have flown by and he will soon be graduating high school. It seems like just yesterday! It’s crazy how a photograph can take you right back to that moment! When he was born we did not have the massive amounts of cell phone photos taken. I was shooting black and white film which I processed and printed in my basement darkroom! Yes, times have changed. However, there still is nothing like having printed photographs! Hard drives fail, cell phones die. And the cloud??! I think about how this generation is the most photographed ever. But then I wonder if they will have anything to show for it when technology changes or fails and digital photos are corrupted. I have prints that are over 100 years old!! Prints can be made from another print but, once a digital file is corrupt, it is most likely gone forever. How will you preserve your cherished memories?
