“Film Pronounced Dead”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the early part of the digital revolution people announced film was dead. People rode the digital wave high on pixels instead of film chemistry. It seems there has been a bit of a film revolution in Japan – see the Photo District News<\/a> article below.<\/p>\n

In reality, film never died, it just became less mainstream. People have continued to shoot film and will always continue – there are many positives to film and many positives to digital, of course.<\/p>\n

I have always thought film photography will follow the trends of Black & White photography. After colour photo technology emerged B&W retained a strong following. And of course film has a strong following at sites like the Analog Photography Users Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The PDN article tells the story of John Sypal<\/em>, an American photographer living in Japan, who started Tokyo Camera Style<\/a> after he noted “There are legions of dedicated film photography enthusiasts in Tokyo.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

There are many signs that film will continue to exist, even prosper!<\/p>\n
