Watching those diehards is a touching experience, like an anthropologist
observing a primitive tribe in New Guinea. But just as the tribesmens'
children will inevitably have roads, schools, hospitals, and other trappings
of modernity, so too will the children of these last "analog" photographers
use only digital cameras, viewing their parents' peculiar obsession with
bemused detachment. Film may not be dead, but it's drawing its final labored
breaths and will soon be relegated to antique shows and museums. Requiescat in
pace.
