photographer framed. It was printed on color material and had a decidedly red cast to it. But it was monochrome,
(well sort of if you squinted your eyes and didn't engage your brain).

OTOH, we are now seeing, it seems, a resurgence in B&W. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong, but in my mind, the signs are there. New films have come out, old ones seem to be ressurected and given a new push, some recent articles have appeared in various places touting B&W. So, maybe there's some hope yet. Or maybe I'm a dreamer.

My own thought (I realize that I may be wrong, I only work in the film processing industry so I doubt if I have a clue about the direction the industry will go, I am only viewing trends) is that the consumer film industry is pretty much dead in the water in a leaky ship with a busted bilge pump.
The ship is going down, and there isn't anything that is going to stop it from happenning.
The pro film sector is a barge tied to the leaky ship, and when the ship sinks, it will take pro film with it, since one is towing the other along.
