A must read story

One thing that I find interesting about the story, and somewhat sad about the future, is the fact that someone was able to pick up the undeveloped rolls of film and negatives - physical photographs. The same thing is true of piles of prints or glass plates that turn up in estate sales or clearances.

I wonder how many people will be able to do the same thing in the future when, at best, we'd be talking about a pile of indexed and labelled DVD/BluRay disks or more likely an anonymous hard disk or disk array. :thumbdown: The first inclination of anyone coming across a pile of computer disks or hardware is to simply junk it. Who knows what will be lost ...
Which leads to the conclusion that we need to print more :D

Great story, many compelling photographs. A broke photographer with a day job who created some very nice art, but lacked skill in displaying her work while she was alive. How many rffers and getdpiers will be "discovered" like Vivian after we assume room temperature?
