The list requires no effort on my part at all, if it's quiet - just weeding
all the newly-bouncing mail addresses whenever it wakes up periodically.
There are still 399 list members and 562 digest members. New people still
join.
Personally, I've shot just two rolls in 2years, everything else has been on
digital cameras. I absolutely love dig. and am happy to leave film behind,
with only a few reservations about B&W. The materials I liked best are long
gone anyway, eg Record Rapid before they ruined it by taking all the filthy
Cadmium out for H&S reasons. And there is the sad fact that photographs are
now virtual entities which will for the most part be lost forever.
Successive generations are unlikely to have the dusty box of old prints to
look at of Great Grandad Tony. But I still have vast amounts of legacy
material to scan. At my current rate of progress I'll easily have it all
finished within 3 or 400 years.
Incidentally, regarding the adjacent thread on film vs. sensor, for some
truly staggering examples of film + scanning have a look at the Gigapixl
project - www.gigapixl.org
