You are right, sometimes something can happen to a server and everything can be lost or at least become irretrievable.Ravenblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408808375869234480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-36663713609155866972012-04-16T17:48:14.398+08:002012-04-16T17:48:14.398+08:00Don't set too much store by the longlevity of ...Don't set too much store by the longlevity of uploaded data: they too are at risk.<br />flickr photos are kept in a big storage center in th UK, but anything could still affect that.

Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />Yes, do check the old color photos. <br /><br />I guess I shouldn't have taken pics of cemetery -- frowned upon as it is, but I didn't think anything of it then, or now -- just that they do look more and more eerie with as the photo deteriorates.Ravenblacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-88492619389846763442012-04-16T04:32:19.935+08:002012-04-16T04:32:19.935+08:00You so well create a sense of menacing emotion lyi...You so well create a sense of menacing emotion lying in wait at the edges of these leached photographs.

I don't have many regular pictures, I got a late start to photography, guess that's good, but I better check out my parents old photo albums and see about scanning them in for them. Love the reflections throughout the piece and the one that struck me the most was the only ones that didn't change were the cemetary pictures-very powerful and chilling. Great job Raven.

Interestingly, black and white photos from my parents' day seem pretty clear still. A great difference from the way things are processed I guess.Ravenblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408808375869234480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-29578406732085014822012-04-15T20:55:58.433+08:002012-04-15T20:55:58.433+08:00I like the idea of scanning and keeping those pict...I like the idea of scanning and keeping those pictures, forever bright and clear in my mind.
