    I believe Robert Burley's book has now been released. Here's a preview of 20 photos on CNN.com:

    The Death of Film

    Did photography kill the art of paintings as was originally thought?

    A oil painting is no better than a watercolor painting, just as film capture is no better then digital.
    They are just different!

    Apparently the writer of the article/book whatever is simply a supposed intellectual and not a photographer!

    I spent $150 for a good condition Speed Graphic 2 years ago... They are now selling for close to $400 because people are buying them left and right!

    Given a new Grand daughter this fall and a foot surgery planned for next week and limited vacation time the odds of my participation is low but there's is fleeting hope, yes some hope...

    This thread commenced in 2007 and I can still buy all the sheet film I need.

    Very poignant photographs. I'm not sure some here understand Burley's views on film and the purpose of the book.

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    I was just wondering if anyone would actually look at the photos, the reason of course I posted the update. I wasn't trying to reignite a 'death of film?' argument.

    Some very nice photos. Part of the retail change, though, is not simply the rise of the digital sensor, but also the rise of internet sales. I'm sure the words on the photo studio were something to the effect of, "So long and thanks for your patronage," but of course I couldn't read it. (or for all I know, it was, "Closed due to advent of point & shoot digital cameras.")

    A person always gets poignant photos of "busy" ruins. The ruins where really nothing went on aren't very poignant, are they? Although I do have a few photographs of old prospectors or cattleman shacks. Pioneers tend to build a little bit larger than 10x10 or so.
