I can't remember the names that well anymore. Yes, slides, over 15,000 of them from my trips spanning from the early seventies to even the early 2000. I went digital only 12 years ago. When I think about the cost of converting my slides to digital files, I get a headache. And the 15,000 aren't just anything; I'v weeded them out and only kept the best ones...at least in my view  I hear you for sure. I went digital in 2005 and my analog collection is huge. I think about the effort and cost as well but I also wonder if I'd really put any converted files to use. Even with my digital collection I'm more interested in what I'm doing now than what I was doing years ago. It might be interesting to convert my analog stuff but to what end? Sometimes not taking a photograph can be as problematic as taking one. - Alex Webb

itsallart Cream of the Crop  More info | I hear you... I am almost inclined to leave them as they are and once in a while my kids would say: OK mom, let's do South America or Asia, so I drag out my slide projector out and we spend a few hours watching them. Obviously there is always my narrative to go with the slides and we have a blast. In the meantime my kids have visited some of the continents/countries and we talk, laugh etc. So far the slides haven't lost the brilliant colors (some are 40 years old) but they may one day. Eventually, I will depart this planet. The kids may say that the places don't look like that anymore. Well, we know they don't after comparing some shots from various places Renata

And the slides will remain, the digital however will all go in the bin along with the old PC, digital's great shortcoming that nobody talks about.....
