Castro stop fighting me
I did not get enough sleep last night and I'm crank And this place puts me on automatic
I don't think you realized what you asked of Ahmir or the onus you put on him Reminds me of the Chris Rock rich vs wealth thing
Not saying ahmir can't help He can but they way this post went up Dunno smh*
I'm at the doctors office And I usually type scattered anyways Bear with me
I'm going to start with the only other commercially available historically significant photo archive I know of
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Post
Let's start here
To summarize you are calling in Ahmir to solve a classic problem in the photo industry and in art Cyren might be on to something btw
I'm not discounting that we should be alarmed about this in the least Practically from what I've seen (large) commercial entities seem to be the most consistent at caring for these archive simple because of the potential monetary value
This maybe something the Black community worldwide may have to get together do call attention to and investment may not be by black hands that's the sad truth
I'm posting that link so yall can get and trace historically of what has happened to photo archives in the post and most recently The Hulton Archive is a huge UK historic photo archive in private hands Don't take this a a lessening of concern just a base of understanding what you are asking of Ahmir
