There’s been a lot of buzz about the “death of prints” in photography. But frankly? Prints aren’t going anywhere. They may become less popular over time as digital technology continues to proliferate, but there will always be a demand for prints.

Why is that? Well, some people argue that prints are the only way to preserve photographs forever—though I would argue that the exact opposite is true. That’s because prints degrade with time. No matter what papers, printing methods and archival techniques you choose, there will come a day when your ancient print just isn’t salvageable anymore.

Digital image files, I would say, will always be around so long as we take care to back them up in multiple places. Particularly images that we make public. Perhaps all of our cloud drives will go by the wayside, and private data there will be deleted, but once it’s on Facebook?
