DEVELOPING NEWS ABOUT FILM

I know you love your Brownie, and it takes really good black and white pics, but it is on the way out. So is your expensive Kodak, Nikon, and Hasselblad, if it isn't digital. Some say film will be mostly gone by the end of the decade. At the turn of this century annual sales of film was close to a billion rolls. This year it is about 20 million plus the little cardboard throw-away jobs selling about 31 million.

The new kid on the block is DIGITAL. Digital is in all things electronic these days. A person can take a hundred pics, then look at them on the camera and erase them all, or some, if they don't like them. Remember taking a roll of eight for developing, and throwing seven away after you saw them? Remember how we sliced off grandpa's head, or left Mama footless? No more of that. You simply take enough so that a good one will appear and the rest can go into the digital garbage can and float in space for a million years.

You know, don't you, that God has been taking photo ops from the day you were slapped to cry. He has us on record. What He has makes microfilm and digital from another age. One day we may have to sit down and look at some of our antics. That won't be a fun showing for most of us..

Time to get your old camera on E-bay....before they all read this BLOG and decide not to buy your Kodak ES 35 with fourteen attachable lens. I know you paid $1300.00 but getting $250. is a lot better than what a garage sale will bring. Digital is the MAGIC word!
