The danger of digital is the lack of standards... for image formats and storage systems. My Dads images from the 1920s are a different matter, as are my negatives. Phones are great -- for transient images.
I shoot film and I keep all my negatives in a little album. It's nice but I could still lose it all in a flood or housefire. The best way to keep your photos is print, print, print! Give them away, frame them, stick them in an album, just make sure there are prints!
I have a hard drive with ALOT of photos from 2002 and up. I been collectin pics for a longtime. I brought a camera with me to work everyday. Always had one on me.
That's funny that you live in State College because I live in Cambria County and there are so many iconic buildings disappearing in this part of PA as well, it's disappointing but nobody seems to care.... My big problem is that it's hard to buy all the stuff I need to be able to do organize all my pictures because I'm on disability, so I can't spend what other people can spend on computers and hard drives. 😢
You and I think similarly. I'm also a documentarian - and the family archivist XD endless hard drives of photos/video, and a Flickr Pro subscription! It's wonderful that you have that beautiful photographic record of Buddy, even if only for a portion of his life. Your story about the barn also resonated. It's easy to look past or take for granted the large and stable features in our environment, be they people, pets or locations - yet they are all temporary, and it's up to us to preserve them as best we can.
I've been thinking about storing family photos, I am in my early 20s now and I have no idea where would I find our old hard drives/cameras and photo albums. I've printed some new ones but there is a gap in the 2010s I have no idea on how many old phones there may be some pictures of my family. It occupies my mind sometimes. Maybe its just me getting older.
Thanks dude gotta print some pics of mine, important to preserve i guess but dunno in future should i get pro camera or just use phone to document stuff & what not.. not that tech savvy lol Had a dog named Buddy too he passed away couple weeks ago feels surreal
I personally am a fan of a legit camera. Doesn’t need to be “pro grade” but it’s a bit easier to get yourself to do the process of photography with a dedicated camera separate from the distractions built into your phone
@tonyk5927 probably start with a kit lens which is a mid-range zoom. On an apsc size sensor that would be like an 18-55, on full frame sensor it would be 24-70. Use that for a while it’ll be good for most cases but if you want better low light performance maybe consider a fast prime (about 33mm f/1.4 on APSC, 50mm f/1.8 full frame)

I must print and scrapbook my photos
Thanks Matt. Important video. I lost lot. Never too late to be the family journalist. Hello from France.

Agreed.
I really enjoyed your photos of Buddy and Ace.

@@MattJacobs Cool many thanks. What about lenses seem important & quite pricy

nice production on this, i automatically assumed it was from a 100k+ subscriber account 😅
Thanks so much! Subscribe to make that a possibility someday :)
@@MattJacobs sure why not! :D
@@MattJacobs I subscribed, great production quality Matt
@bruce-le-smith thank you!
Deconstruct the barn and move it?
You know what you’re right, it’s that easy
I can't hear any audio???
