Dick,
I think you're too modest and hard on yourself. Get a
second opinion. Kodak recommends a double fixer treatment.
Besides, you still have your negatives from which to make
a fresh series of your best images. It all boils down to
doing the sustained work. Good work translates into
immortality. Remember most of us aren't creating platinum
prints. Maybe we need the commitment to photography that
Stieglitz and his friends had at the turn of the 20th
century.

Dear Bob, I have looked at my best work - most of it
has gracefully faded or silvered over or the silverfish
have eaten it. The rotten stuff is archival. I am afraid
of immortality - people would be able to criticize me FOR
EVER then. Best get it over quick. Uncle Dick
Maybe because the good stuff gets displayed and the
rotten stuff stays in the drawer or box or whatever.
I have several boxes of proofs and work prints. Once in a
while I take them out and actually surprized by the number
of _good_ pictures.
If you are serious about fading or silvering I can make
some suggestions about processing for permenance. I suspect
you already know the stuff.
