db1 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 In the June 2006 issue of B+W Magazine there is an article aboutdarkroom papers (see page 42). The article talks about a collection ofpapers used for identification purposes for collectors. Also, in the article, the expert says that chemical photography willbe extinct in the next 3-5 years. If you have read the article, please let us know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william_john_smith Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Not here, I have enough Rodinal and Afga film to last me at least ten more years.<P>Wasn't painting going to be extinct when photography was invented?<P>I read the article and he is wrong. Very self serving to get funding. He is doing a good thing by saving the old papers etc. but he doesn't have a clue about what is happening in the world of photography as a whole. The boy should get out more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Bummer. I was going to buy a film camera but all this talk of the impending death of film is getting me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 For chemical photography to become extinct, everybody on the planet, including those who coat their own paper, shoot dry or wet plates, use most any alternative process, or anybody shooting poloroid will be SOL. I will place a hefty bet with any takers that in 3-5 years there will still be people doing cyanotypes, or bromoils, tintypes and proclaiming the virtues of contact printing: therefore it won't be extinct.

les_lammers Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 *Also, in the article, the expert says that chemical photography will be extinct in the next 3-5 years.* And Freestyle and others will prosper. The expert probably does not own a camera. Film is nice, so is digital, but they are different. Why not enjoy both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
