Digital photos will last as long as the photographer maintains his collection, not unlike the care required for a film collection. It may be that digital photos will require updating the same as digital documents. I have documents from 25 years ago that originated as Wordstar files, then were converted to WordPerfect, then Word for Windows, then Word for OSX, and now iWork Pages. If I'd left them as Wordstar files I probably wouldn't be able open them today. I doubt TIFF and JPEG files will ever be a problem, but with all the variations of RAW files, I could see support for them being a concern in 30 or 40 years.
