Photographer who didn't know what to do with all his photographs... Photo albums are still a good way to show photos to one person at a time. Oops, wrong space story. Ours is a story about the space photographers need in order to store the photographs they've taken. All photographers eventually run into this dilemma, so you might want to begin thinking about a solution now. Back when photography was in its infancy, photo negatives were often in glass plates. Storage was a real hassle in those days. Contamination and breakage always posed threats to the images. Later, negative films were invented, and photographers had to worry about fading, fungus, fingerprints, and scratches. Finally, someone devised a paper negative sleeve that helped greatly. You can mark on these sleeves and then file them in some sort of order. There are boxes you can use to store both black-and-white and color negatives of all sizes.
