Thinking about the ever diminishing sheet film market makes me wonder just how many active large format photographers are out there. In your state? In the US? The world? I'm thinking the numbers are pretty small. I'll define active as having shot large format film in the last 6 months. Anyone have any idea? Just from my experience, it seems that some states might have fewer than 100 large format photographers and very few states have over 1000. California might hit 1000, maybe New York. If you subtract students--most of whom will never pursue LF beyond a class--the numbers probably get even smaller. Do we number over 10,000 in the US? What do you think?
