Film, A Dying Art, Really

[Aldo M.]

Thanks Molli , but i know my horrible english style so i have to improve ...


if you want pure poetry (and i am not an artist or a poet, but i read something)this is ultimate(???) for me and inspire my vision of photography:

This part was taken from Decameron, a film of Pasolini ( one of the best italian artist and poetry of afterwar) ; this was the rappresentation of a student of Giotto... (it was Pasolini himself in this role) that dream the "work".


It's in italian but the last words:
" Perchè realizzare un'opera, quando è così bello sognarla soltanto? "
sound like this : "Why create a work, when it is so nice to only dream about?"


I think that beauty does not belong to me! (and this can create some misunderstanding ... it's sound strange even in italian )

FILM is one of the most important invention of the history of the world ... a second writing , more near to the primitive language of the first humans .


If you think that is off topic , don't worry , cancel it , ok it' night for me tomorrow morning i'm taking some photos ( or only dreaming )

All my local CVS pharmacies carry Kodak Tri-X 400. Must be a reason for it.

In looking for another topic this morning, I stumbled across a thread on dpreview. Ten years ago, this very same topic would have started a mud slinging fight the likes of a civil war, horribly ugly.
By the time I got to the last post, I was literally teary eyed, I could not believe what I was reading...folks, there are still some small thorns in there, but overall, this is an amazing change of attitude:

Besides the many personal reasons, another possible reason is this, he is a bit long winded here so you might be like me and get most of it 1/3rd the way in:

Well ... I could easily recognize all the places in those 6x7 shots if they were all consistently upside-down like they're supposed to be in a
groundglass.

Some say that film is hard to come by

These folks who have mastered the fine art of digital photography have a hard time logging on to the B&H website?
