| CCP Photographer  Location United Kingdom Essex Near East London | I have thought about this before but never seriously until now. When you think you maybe near the end of the photographic chapter in your life, and thinking of leaving the whole thing behind, what to do with all the images you have stored from all your shoots? It seems a shame to just throw the whole lot in the bin. Years of shoots, all for nothing. It would be nice if someone wanted them. I can't take any of it to my grave, it has to go somewhere. I feel I'm at a turning point. I feel like I'm at the end. Cameras can be just sold, but archives of unedited images? Does anyone ever have anything planned for all your passed work? Are you giving it to someone or is it all being destroyed? This is something I can't put of much longer. |

| RedChecker Photographer  Location United Kingdom Buckinghamshire Stoke Mandeville | Why destroy the CD archives? They're probably more hardy than hard discs (or at the very least if the odd disc fails at least most of it will still be readable, when a hard disk goes the whole lot's as good as gone). Surely they won't take up much space in those plastic cake-boxes that CDs come in? |

| Dirkus Photographer Location United Kingdom Clwyd | Greetings Donate them to a photographic museum or photo library, maybe pass on to a family member or photographer friend that may be able to make use of, or sell them, its a life times work, dam shame to destroy them, I would like the results of my work to be still appreciated long time after I've gone!!!!!! :-) Have fun |

Brings me back to the subject of what to do with them. I can't take them to my grave. At the end of the day, I actually get depressed knowing they're there, well mixed feelings really. Photography never got me to where I wanted to be, it's been a waste of time looking back at it all. |

What sort of museum would have even my most favourite models, up on their walls, showing their bits off? Members of my family would throw them straight in the bin. They're all religious, and think everything around is obcene. Maybe the archives should be buried with me. That is quite a nice thought actually. |

| RedChecker Photographer Location United Kingdom Buckinghamshire Stoke Mandeville | Donate the discs to some religious charity as a time-capsule to be opened in (say) 10-20 years time (while the stuff might still be readable). The horror that may ensue !!  |

| CCP Photographer Location United Kingdom Essex Near East London | In 20 years time, we will probably have holographic tv, still images will be like the old faded black and white photos of our great grand parents in equivalence. Either that or this planet may be destroyed by then in a holy 3rd world war. |
