Photos has been a part and parcel of life. Today’s generation, being obsessed with smartphones, easily takes tons of photos and selfies and share it among their circle and social media. Unfortunately, this was not the same scenario before three or four decades. People over fifty, of course in the same frame of mind as today’s youth, didn’t have the technology or easy accessibility. They had to depend on photo studios to get a photo clicked. Moreover, photos would cost and took much more time to develop. However, people never fell behind getting the photographs taken of very important occasions like childhood, graduation day, marriage and so on. Hence all most all earlier generation people have old photographic albums saved. Unfortunately, old photographs, be it black and white or color, cannot be saved as hardcopy forever because of many issues. Old photographs could get lost or damaged during shifting, or simply it would wear out themselves because of aging.
Artworks, mainly paintings, sketches and ancient arts also are in the threat of getting lost forever. Even today, we see many ancient paintings and art works suffering the wrath of time and being partially worn out, smeared up and torn out. Earlier, that is pre-digital era, many paintings and art works of great standard have been lost because of its aging.
