I'm glad this photographer from I guess the early 1900s had a good sense to shoot some personal snap shot stuff. It is what makes his box of 50 glass plates a whole.

I'm still trying to work out the story with the box.

Makes me wonder who will have my archive. We have no kids. Will all my stuff turn up in some old hall and be snapped up and scanned. I doubt it. Anyway, here is to this anonymous photographer who had a good time in Eastbourne. Bless ya!!

I love these scenes.

I just can't see memory cards or CD's of pictures turning up in auction rooms in the future. Anybody that's at all interested in leaving a photographic legacy seriously needs to consider how they intend to archive it.

You buy a glass neg you know what it is. What's on a CD? Film, music, program? Porn? Who's going sift through some old dear CD collection?

Those glass negs are to digital pictures files what vinyl is to Mp3s
