[Photo Engineer]

I am 68, and have been in film (analog) since I was 12. I am now a retired 32 veteran of Kodak who wants to pass on everything I can to those interested.

Guess how many expressed an interest so far for my workshops?

If you were really interested, where are you?

I am willing to teach courses in emulsion making, film design, and color processing. Speak up people!

Ask yourself this... Is it worth it to get involved with film if all I will have is 10 years with it before it disappears? If your answer is yes, then go for it. You can buy enough film to last you 10 years today! Now, every year that film is readily available, you can tack on to that. Also, I shoot 8x10 and feel it will be a long time before a practical digital alternative to 8x10 will be available. (practical also means equal in quality) So, I'm sticking with my 8x10 film! I can scan or print in the darkroom. The best of all worlds! It's a great time if you look at it that way. There are so many ways to make the best possible photo/print you are capable of making. That's Exciting!
Yeah BABY!

PE,

I read all your articles with great interest, and I would be very interested in your workshop.

We have an APUG meeting here in England in April, and maybe we can discuss whether there is a chance to get some money together to get you over here and do a workshop in England? Would you be interested in that?

Would there be interest for a workshop within the English community?

This is the most depressing and discouraging part of this forum. I am 46 years old and has always wanted to learn film based photography, I am now making that dream come true but every time I read this particular part of apug I wonder if I have waited too long to get started and will there be any products to buy in the future. I other words, is analog photography a bad investment. I hope not because digital just isn't art to me, it's just digipics without art. Please reduce the unproven and only post true facts about the industry. Thanks nomadicslacker...

Two things: Read this article by Barnbaum

Dead Link Removed

and don't read all the 'chatter' at APUG or other groups.

Now, get out there and expose some film. Every day.
