Digital Photo Preservation

Since we take so many digital photos (40,000+ images so far between my brother and I), keeping the good ones safe is a concern.

For those of us who capture and store digital photos, this article should be of interest:

Note: I don't agree with the suggestion of never deleting images; we delete on the cameras as we go, and also do an aggressive purge of photos once they're transferred to the computer.

(OK, "forever" is a stretch, but that's what the article's author chose as a title!)
