The Real Question Is...

Not how much your negs will be worth at the garage sale, but...

Who will store, and keep restoring your digital files for the very chance of being (re)discovered?

This is exactly why I can't bring myself to go digital. I have zero faith that my work will ever come to light if I don't make it big while living if it is only archived digitally. I doubt Vivian Maier ever would have seen the light of day if her collection was only on a tape backup somewhere.

I'm not holding my breath to be "discovered" alive, or dead.
But there's no doubt that a lot of interesting, noteworthy work from the digital realm of lesser names will be forever lost.
