Hmmm, I had that system down. No film tail? Canister marked as exposed? Off to
processing. Archiving meant displaying suitable shots or putting them into
chronological albums. Negatives were filed chronologically as well by event.

The transition to digital means downloading images to PC, burning a CD (or two)
for archiving and safety purposes, editing images as needed, saving those files
as well, and then printing the ones I want. Oh yeah, and deleting the images
from the memory card. Now I will be archiving CDs.

The ultimate goal for me is to display the ones I like or putting them in a
physical album to tell a story. Sharing electronically, while a nice perk,
still isn't the main agenda. I can enable myself with high-tech gear, but some
friends & family are still behind the times.
