Bravo, Francis!

. . . and — as this thread which I started 17 years ago seems to be coming back to life — I've noticed that the only portrait examples we can still see are those which have been embedded in the text-box (as opposed to links ...). For the sake of perennity, might I suggest that future examples be pasted directly into the text, so they may still be available to see, say, —who knows?— another 17 years from now?!

LFPF itself has lost all embedded DIGI before

I like paper cash and prints in my hands

(re:"I like paper cash and prints in my hands")

Agreed. For example, I feel sorry for parents who, years ago, might have taken digital pictures of their young children and now,
neither the parents nor the kids, themselves, grown into adulthood can (or can, but only with difficulty) access those photos
because Apple or whomever came out with a new product and has, for example, changed such-and-such 'port', requiring the numerous imprisoned images to be transferred . . . each time an "improved" product comes to market.

The great irony is, the oldest photographic technology (let's say, a daguerrotype), with always "marry" with the latest
technology, by good ol' simple optical reproduction (aka, scanning). However, newer technology might not
marry with the latest. 'Old school' still teaching lessons.
