Drwilk,
Consider Garry Winogrand in his short life as a photographer using film, had died with "6,500 rolls of film that he had never bothered to process, proof or even look at." I had to study him in a photo history class and really grew to appreciate him after watching many Youtube videos and reading about him. He was considered a street photographer, a term he did not much care for.
Here is the link:

As a pro for 50 years, my only safeway is paper prints.they last longer than the old color prints on Eastman color paper.In the event of loss of all digital data including prints that have been saved. I know it sounds like a print and printer commercial, but! How many storms and tornados send all that there is of history to the trash? But, paper prinys fly around and can be recovered.The worst photogs in our now history are the cell phonies photogs. Very few print pictures, the ink is too expensive. They store their special pics in the cloud. That euphemism is the exacto of todays lives. Easy makes it easy. When there was no other way to see your fotos it was work. The cell phonies risk the lost of seeing their kids 20 years from now. Family foto history can be lost forever. Yes there are afew Xmas cards with fotos. My moto is print it or loose it.

Much of the responces here sound like something a wedding photographer would say to their client.

My daughter has already claimed my photos- negatives, slides, prints, and digital.
My photos document my life events, the special and the ordinary.

I do all the time, go back and look at my old photos. I also hope that even if the digital copies are not kept that my DVD Photo albums will be. And maybe they will get watched sometimes...

If you have photos of your grandparents or theirs and they are alive get names, dates of births, hometowns, and pet names makes of cars, home address, ect. It not enough to pass on family photos if no one knows who the pictures are of.

Excellent point! Grandma got a lot of Christmas cards this year.
She remarked how she hated it when folks send pictures, with no name or date on them.

I have one of my first slide shot with an Argus C3 in 1958, Mesa Verde, CO. I've been able to keep most and still use a few. See: http://coldwarwarrior.com/
Some are original prints, some scanned and restored on CDs, and some on external hard drives. What a mess.
