Saving Work

I'd like to thank Ilford for my herniated disk! Having to pack All the old prints and negatives from years of collecting and filing work and work in progress I've decided I need a new strategy. IT'S NUTS! to hold onto all this stuff. Some 17 back breaking cases. If I do get to sleep tonight I'll have dreams of swirling Burgundy and gold boxes with their logos taunting me.

Thomas I've got all sorts of space, just send them to me and I'll store them for you Would look great "stored" up on the wall!

Better yet, you better start sending me your pt/pd prints so you dont run into this problem again......

Thomassauerwein · Dec 22, 2005

Well I'm not as sore today so my rant has died down a bit. It still seems kind of ridiculous to hold onto stuff that rarely sees the light of day though. Most of it is job related outakes and negatives all of which could be edited way down.
The prints are a different matter. There are boxes and boxes of work prints that if I would print them today would probably look very different. So what do you do? shred them? Keep storing them?
I'm courious what other people do?
jeremy, Come on out and take your pick!!!
Jorge, I'm ready when you are..

Jorge · Dec 23, 2005

Frankly I throw the work prints away......unless I plan to use them for show and tell....no sense on hanging on to crappy stuff.

WHat do you mean you are ready when I am? You owe me a print you promised before you moved....good thing I was not holding my breath.... (then again I am sure some of my "fans" here wished I did.. )

I want your kitchen in my kithen. (if you know what I mean)
Course mine are all packed now so Maybe by the end of Feb it will be uncovered. who knows it will probably get lost with amongst all the other crap!

I'm thinking of getting a pet.
Most of mine would be useful for training a puppy on or lining a birdcage.

Hmmm, Bird and doggy poop on my prints. Not sure I could handle that. Probably help some of them.

Are you kidding? It just might be the ticket for becoming the next great thing in the art circuit....

I think you need to send me your camera so that you are not tempted to make any more negatives and prints in the future.

Oh, and a print or two would be fine as well!

Paul.

Tempting but, you see, I've convinced my wife I'm going to hit it big someday and if I send cameras off she might suspect her retirement is in jeapardy. I need to string her on a bit longer.
