Where will B&W be in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 .... years
Forecast the future of B&W.
Where do you think it will be in: 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? 50 years? If there is enough participation the average of the predictions often turns out to be pretty accurate. -- Nicholas O.

Black and white silver imaging will always be practiced
as an art form. Plus in 1000 years when all those digital files stored on hard drives and CDs have disappeared, photos on film (any film) will still be here. Difference between having a real bird in hand vs two cyberbush birds that don't really exist to begin with. "Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote: Forecast the future of B&W.

The silver will be around, but what about the substrate that it was initially deposited onto? rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

I think black and white prints will be around for at least 100 years,
assuming the prints are made on an Epson pro printer using Ultrachrome inks and any good cotton rag paper, if they're properly stored. "Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote in message ink.net...

I agree with a previous poster that B&W film, paper and chemicals will still
be around as an art form for the foreseeable future. Widely available - no - but available. Where do you think it will be in: 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? 50 years? If there is enough participation the average of the predictions often turns out to be pretty accurate. |

They already do if you print using platinum and acid free paper. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |
