In the late 80's I was working (briefly) on the picture desk of a national newspaper, just at the time when the compact disc was becoming popular.
I had an Optical Media Read/Write Device on my desk that was the size of a small family car.
It was my job to take the 35mm negatives from the staff photographers, scan them and prepare the images for publication.
I hated Princess Diana.
Her dress, at least, because I spent about 8 hours trying to crop the background from a picture of her for the front page.
The Apple Macs we were using just weren't up to the job
Later, the photographers I knew started to invest in digital backs for their Hasselblads and Nikons and I was able to borrow them for my own use, even though one cost twice as much as my car.
Some years ago, I bought a large external hard drive, 35mm film scanner and large format scanner with the intention of digitally archiving all my old stuff.
Two weeks later I dropped about 20,000 negatives in a skip and genuinely haven't missed them.
Anyone want a 35mm film/slide scanner?
Life's too short...
Here is one of my first videos.. also shot with the Canon Power Shot .. nifty little camera for it's day
