Nice article. It makes me wonder if an office junior of say even 30 years ago would have had such a "blind spot" about the delicate nature of a glass plate negative and the fact that once broken it cannot be "replicated"

We are breeding a generation I fear whose concept of film hardware is non existent and whose mentality says that anything can be replicated usually instantly so what's the problem?

The picture of the man with the moustache reminds me of early pictures of my grandfather which I saw in negative and positive form way back in the middle 50s but which has long since been lost or destroyed, more's the pity.

Mike
