I’m a photographer and aspiring photo archivist. I was asked to digitize photos that were on display at a funeral/viewing. There were 65 photos.
Me: Sure, I could have this done pretty soon, no problem!
Client: Great! I didn’t have tape and didn’t want to use glue, so (with pride in their voice) guess what I used?
Me: (with pronounced fear in my voice) Uh… what?
Client: Toothpaste!
What was going to be an hour and a half project turned into two days of scraping and cleaning photos.
