So, why do people care so much about "archival quality" (or, here in the digital age, "archival storage")? This is pretty much totally mystifying to me. After all, I'm not archival. Why would I care about whether or not my photographs are? I've got - give or take - 30 years left to live. Will I be looking up, down, sideways from somewhere after I'm dead, saying, "Golly, I don't look so good, but look at that print!"? I don't think so.
