...The four color pixels are much larger than film grain...
Other points aside, pun intended, you do have good taste in art.This is key. I see film images as "pointillistic". Not sure if this matters, but pointillism in art was very popular for a time, and is very appealing to the eye, indicating their may be an intrinsic attraction. See George Surat, Sunday in the Park. Some pointilists user finer points, and even just black dots in some cases. Pointilism may have been a reaction to photography (I am speculating at this "point").

Nice little 10-minute documentary. If you're not involved in the Instagram and Youtube film communities you may find this especially interesting. Gives a nice glimpse into the people who are driving the recent growth in film use.
I can understand this.Still using film? The guy looks too young to start out with film and if he started out with digital then he is not still using film.
That's great. You must be a real hit with your family. How does the final display occur?I can understand this.
I started taking stereo slides with a Stereo Realist, in 1984, at age 21. I've shot 136 rolls to date.
I have to find some scenes to shoot so I can get my current roll processed - the fifth wedding in my family.
Thanks Kino. That’s one of the questions I have about electric cars- what is the TOTAL environmental impact, cradle to grave, of these products? They are not as clean as they first appear.
Local tailpipe emissions are only part of the story. What is the environmental impact of mining and processing the exotic materials required for manufacturing the new generation batteries? How are they disposed of at the end of their life? Where does the electricity come from- solar and wind generate a small fraction of the electricity used- the rest is generated mostly by fossil fuels. The other “tailpipe” may be located in another state. Then there is nuclear. I grew up on the promise of nuclear power as the solution to electricity generation. Nobody gave a lot of cred to the costs of mining, processing, storing spent fuel- Just saying it’s a lot more complicated than plugging in and not smelling tailpipe fumes. I work in the auto industry. The future is self driving electric cars. Let’s hope we do a better job with the environmental impacts of these trends than we have done in the past!It's about the emissions, pretty much common sense that internal combustion is on the way out, regardless of manufacturing side effects. I have bought my last gas burning car, it will be electric from here on out...

California has been at the forefront of pollution control as well especially due to the smog problems you had caused by the climate and topography trapping the emissions. It was choking Californians much the as it's happening now in China.Not where you live:
In our state, solar and wind account for roughly a quarter of the GWh generated, not something I'd characterize as a "small fraction," and it's continuously growing. Fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) total around 38%, which doesn't qualify as "mostly." One can either fight change or embrace it.
That is great news! I didn’t realize our state was doing such a great job. Go Jerry!In our state, solar and wind account for roughly a quarter of the GWh generated, not something I'd characterize as a "small fraction," and it's continuously growing.

Jerry? Don't you mean Gavin?...I didn’t realize our state was doing such a great job. Go Jerry!...
If the inhabitants of the earth gathered and decided unanimously to eliminate the science of chemistry from their lives completely.People just hear 'chemicals' and think 'bad!'. The 'all natural' movement has made enough crazies out there to fill a mega church or two dozen. Analog photography, popular though it may be, is still so niche that the negative impacts are quite small in my estimation. I would say the medium sized city's collective dry cleaning industry is more harmful than what Eastman Kodak is doing.
As far as I know Kodak did do a bunch of work lowering the toxicity of their chemistry. The current Flexicolor LORR, XTol, and I think bleach are low toxicity. And I'm presupposing people are properly handling their fixer and filtering the silver out, which I do.

Can they live without chemistry?
Can a person live without the applications of chemistry in his daily life?
