Go fuck yourself. Silly old "film" is going to be around long after your obsolete digital files have disappeared into the 'cloud.' Wherever that is. The article is also filled with tons of errors. Kodak invented much of digital photography, which is why its patents are so valuable. Kodak batteries failed because they were TOO GOOD. They lasted too long. And "Kodak Park" was never shuttered. Etc. Etc. Such as the fact Kodak's film division still sells more merchandise than most American companies. He ignore this continuing success, btw. The typical lamebrain cynicism.

The party's winding down, folks. CDs, newspapers, and now analog film are going the way of the wax cylinder. The canary in the coal mine dropped dead about ten years ago, now the roof is about to collapse. 35mm motion picture film will still keep hanging on for a few more years, despite the fact that high-end digital cameras have now surpassed the imaging quality of most 35mm film stocks. Anyone who is unwilling to adapt to digital imaging had better start hoarding film stock in their walk-in freezers. The day that HDR sensors become affordable is the day that analog film unequivocably becomes more trouble than it's worth. Sprocket holes seem increasingly quaint in a world where exposure and depth of field can be entirely controlled in *POST* with no loss of quality. I'm not a hater, I'm just pointing out a reality that may be painful for many on this list. Don't look to Fuji to save you, they're ultimately headed for the dumpster as well. Starting up another Impossible Project is a noble idea, but from what I've seen, these handmade stocks can't compete with the real deal. Aaron ------------------------------------------- Aaron F.
