When I was a dumb, naive kid, I just assumed that everything ever recorded, photographed, written, etc was saved somewhere in some form for the sake of history, art, science, and just posterity.
It was a huge gut check finding out that wasn’t even remotely the case, and in fact a lot of good shit is gone forever because someone reused the tape or throw it out or whatnot. 😔
Everything we make is special. Even the dumb shit. It all needs to be preserved, catalogued, and recorded.
