I'm not sure what purpose it serves to identify other people as "hipsters"; except perhaps to allow "serious photographers" to identify themselves as "serious" in contradistinction to those silly bearded tattooed dilettantes ... it all, sadly, feeds the tendency for derision and contempt of "the others" (those that aren't "us")
it's just taking photographs. we don't need to be tribal about it
Will they survive the end of the hipster? I hope so.
Well I think film photographers should have their own fashion line and we could perhaps start with:-

And you didn't tell me! (Probably did and I was busy). Lol

Did it ever occur to you that some "hipsters" (or any other variety of persons) might actually like being referred to as such? That they sense nothing pejorative in the reference?
it is a negative connotation.
Really......?
With all the amazing films we have at still amazing prices?
To you,.
YAWN...
To get my color negative films and or tranparency I have to order online. The nearest store to me is 40 miles and doesn't always have them in stock. There are only a few places around still do processing but a poor job. B&H won't ship me my RA-4 chemicals. And yes there is no PKM-25.
And about David's topic?
If the lo-fi film craze ends, there will likely be repercussions in the film marketplace.
What do you think about that?
The local Lomography retailer that I'm most familiar with had for the longest time a sign above their Lomography display that read "No Photography Allowed".
They are more of a gift or souvenir store than anything else.
Glazer's in Seattle has a good approach. They have Holga and similar equipment in its own area - displayed in a manner similar to other specialty equipment and supplies. They also sponsor contests and otherwise promote to that portion of the market in a way that would be likely to draw customers into their store, where there are many other film based options.
I think people who are interested in Lomography and the like are extremely unlikely to ask users of roll film cameras the classic question "Can you still get film for that?"
The Large format users - they are on their own.
I'm just not as much of a Rebel as you are Stone - no photograph, I am afraid.Tell me you didn't get a shot of that sign in it's context...

I'm retired now and when I was young to be called hip was, well, hip.

Actually it was Apug where I came across the term Hipster. It was only last year that I first heard it being used in Germany.
I am still not quite sure what it means. I guess I myself am considered a nerd. Another of these terms...
EDIT: does Hippie come from being hip?
