Digital BW, The Print

I think credit should be given to the Chinese for the Holga, a real advance
in photography (IMHO).  Several of mine have had rough use, even to Death
Valley in 135 degree heat where the 4x5 emulsion melted, but the Holgas held
up.  Also, if you are a hunter or shooter, check out Norinco (Chinese North
Industries Corporation), huge importer of firearms and ammunition into the
U.S.  Not pretty, but they will probably last forever, at least one gauge of
quality even if they're not works of art.  Can't really think of anything
else to commend.
