That's priceless really.

Today, we all take several photos of the same thing with our phones, and end up with thousands of photos every year, which we might chuck on a hard drive and hope we don't lose somehow! Lots of people we all know don't backup and then lose their phones. Not good.

I've been pretty good at archiving hunting photos in the last several years, going back to about 2005 when I first had a decent smart phone. But man how I wish I had done what you've done from way back in the day.

I don't have a single photo of me and my Grandpa hunting fallow in Sussex when I was a kid, which really hurts. Nothing from the rough shooting days with my mates in the 80s, and only two photos of all the hunting over several years in NW Transvaal in South Africa. That really grates.

Look after the celluloid and make sure they have a "forever" home.

Off topic, but this is my all time favourite 'photo that my wife took. 1974. Me and the 2 lads.
