Armando,
Thanks for the kind words.
While all the various family members very pleased with the "Generations" photo essay, it could hardly be called a Masterpiece. It was for all of us an emotional, rather than artistic triumph, as are most personal mementos.
But to the point of image retrieval, unlike virtually all of my Digital Photobuds who scanned a few hundreds or thousands of their slides, and then disposed of the remaining hundreds of thousands, I scan slides but keep them after doing so, if for no other reason than over time, my post-processing improve to the point that today, last years scan is no longer acceptable to me.
And to my great relief, after switching to E-6 films from Kodachrome (which I never particularly liked) despite being warned that by doing so I would risk losing image fidelity to fading colours, I've not found this to be true, and slides taken 30 or even almost 40 years ago retain their vibrancy. Thus unless my thinking radically changes, I'll likely continue to shoot film until just before our children get to place my equipment on the curbside for the Trash Collectors.
Robert
