This reasoning is problematic and/or simplistic. Copyright is a way  
of protecting your authored works from illegal reproduction and  
establishing ownership. It has nothing to do with when you created a  
work, it has everything to do with when you released it for public  
consumption.

If you made a negative in 1963 but didn't print it and offer it to  
the public until 2007, and copyrighted it as 1962, the copyright  
protections are already expired ...
