As a dedicated user of LF film (7x17, 10x12 and soon 6.5x8.5), I found this statement:

"Photography as we know it is passing into history. As photographic media move rapidly from traditional light sensitive materials and processes to digital systems of capture and printing, the use of photographic films and papers have plunged into an irreversible decline that is quickly headed towards obsolescence."

a tad depressing. He documented the demise of the Kodak Canada facilities and is apparently working on a book called " The Disappearance of Darkness"

Somebody cheer me up quick!!
