lee_shively Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 A number of photographs by some well-known names may have been lost in high-rise fire. See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6664412/ I don't know how to make the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward_h Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 So just take the backup DVDs and print out new copies? Shouldn't take too long. ... oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainbubba_motornapkins Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 ah right, the <i>fireproof</i> dvd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger krueger Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Ah, but you can have multiple copies of DVDs--multiple originals to reprint from. Unlike, say, Jaques Lowe's 40,000 behind-the-scenes Kennedy negatives lost in the 9/11 attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_shively Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 And those reprints would be worth exactly what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
._._z Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Dan's brain(bubba) seems not to recognize that DVDs can be copied easily, copies placed elsewhere ... and that that's precisely what pros do with their digital data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

._._z Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 For someone more interested in money than anything else, I'm sure they have alternate priorities. So do film snobs, Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photobyalan.com Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Even scans of the negatives on DVD would be worth more than a bunch of burned-up prints and negatives, wouldn't they? And at the very least prints could still be made, which is better than having the photographs lost forever. Isn't it, Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_shively Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Some of us still have respect for and value original works of artists. Some of us apparently don't. There's never been an exact duplicate of a photograph printed by hand. Each is original. Too bad the point was missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
