1929 Austin 7 in a giant cracker

[Tony Press]

"Today, to be sure I suppose, one could use film - and so have an uncorrupted negative. Plus, as a backup, two or more sets of undeveloped negatives as the final 16-inch salvo."

Film ? Negative ? Never heard of them 

And the original 110 year old untampered picture of my grandfathers motor garage in Chard will still be available long after all the disc, chip and printed pictures are a distant memory
