I mean, your photos may constitute your entire life, but what does "proper" storage at this level cost? And how does one go about finding such a facility? Many photographers simply don't *have* an extra grand a month (total wild-ass guess at cost). And remember Jacques Lowe! (Kennedy-era negatives destroyed when WTC collapsed on top of bank vault he had stored them in.) Perhaps more interestingly, what constitutes an "adequate" level of archival photo storage? Protection from fire and flooding, and some degree of temperature and humidity control, and some level of physical security, I assume are the basics you intend? (Protection from fire is often done via sprinkler systems, so the combination of protection from fire and flooding seems...difficult to find.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info Nikon DSLR photo list: http://d4scussion.com
