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
