WHERE HAS ALL THE FILM GONE - PART 2

The late Herbert Keppler, a man renowned for his extensive knowledge of all things photography, stated in his column in the Sept. 2007 issue of Popular Photography & Imaging that film was in no danger of disappearing. As he put it, "...(there's no danger that) we duffers are going to fade away...clutching the last rolls of Kodachrome to our breasts". And yet, a scant two years later, Kodachrome is as extinct as the dodo bird. In June of 2009, Kodak ceased production of Kodachrome. The truth is, film is on its way to becoming an alternative photographic process. That probably won't happen tomorrow, but it well might in the next decade. As they say, "Life moves on".
