Some lady randomly found one of the most bitchin' photos of Jesse James ever, but it took a long time for anyone to pay attention or believe her.
It's a great pic...
My issue with old photos is their blurriness and the aging of the photograph material itself.
It could be argued that digital photos will maintain their clarity and quality forever, but I gotta say...
I have my internet archives from 2005 onward, and the photos, screencaps, etc. that I took back in those days tend to be rather small and of less than great quality...
Due to the quality of the cameras I had, due to my screen resolution at the time...
There are a lot of variables that go into it and it seems that even with the digital age of 'immortality' in photo, video, etc. quality will still not be guaranteed.
I find this fascinating as it sort of suggests that we can't escape natural degradation that takes place in everything throughout the course of time, no matter what we do.
I like it in a way... I enjoy seeing the varying quality and style of photos and videos that are made in this modern era. But I do feel that there will always be those times when we look back at historical material whether physical or digital and wish that it had been better preserved/maintained.
