Re: The film is dead

[Peter J. Alling]

I don't know I have an image of a professional photographer in the third 
world, shooting film since he doesn't need much infrastructure at his 
site. (He doesn't care about what's behind the film he uses).

Yup, and when they are rich enough to be able to afford electricity,
the first thing they will do is go out and buy a digital camera, and
a computer.
They will leapfrog film altogether.
   

According to Marx all societies go through essentially the same stages
of industrial development. It is therefore a historical dialectic
inevitability that almost as soon as they have developed spinning
jennies and the crinoline, somebody in the 3rd world will have the
bright idea to coat a piece of paper with a silver solution.
The rest will be history. Eventually.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings 
and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
