Aging well.

I'm getting out some old CD's lately, to listen to them again with the updated equipment, CD player and fancy headphone.
I was shocked to see the spongy layer of material inside the plastic boxes, meant to protect the CD's, is disintegrating, and in some cases it even stuck on the CD surface itself.
I thought such materials should have had better archival specifications, but things are not meant to last, apparently.

My pictures, instead, are meant to look as fresh as the day I shoot them, even if you look at them in 100 years time (assuming some are still around at that time...).
The lack of any garment is one of the best ways to avoid dating a picture, so you're left with a beautiful n4ked body with no way to assign a specific year to the picture.
Let's see how my Archives are going to cope with the passing of time, and how the pictures are going to be looked at in the distant future.
I bet Anna is still going to be appreciated as one of the finest examples of a young beauty!

GOOD NEWS ABOUT MY MacBook Pro 2013!
The new charger arrived and appears to be working, but I don't have great faith in it, because the magsafe connection gets really hot while charging, so the life of this device is still questionable.
I'm doing a couple of copies of the whole computer, and I've done 4 copies of the 9 folders of shootings that were in the retouching phase.
Even if I will have to give up this valuable machine, at least nothing I worked on was lost, and I can go on from where I left.
And yes, I will still do it on the 2013 Mac, as long as it lasts, with frequent backups along the way...
