Three years ago,in a real camera store,I asked a young
salesperson for some 2 1/4 Tri-X,he said to me"let me
look that up", Of course the film was and is still
being made, but the hand writing was on the wall.Now
the big C-41 wedding lab in town is about done.Last
summer while teaching a photography class at a local
collage,I was holding a roll of 35mm film in my hand
and a young guy said,whats that? I am quit surprised
that cut film is hard to get.I am even more surprised
that company's like Epson are still coming out with
new scanners.Its a schizophrenic world.Francis Ford
