I came across the article at the link below and thought I'd post it for any who may not have seen it, though I suspect others have posted it previously. I'll add an anecdote from the owner of one of the only professional photo stores in northern Virginia, Ace Photo, in Ashburn. He recently told me that his film business is picking up, that he has to order film every week now, and that his processing lines, which he never shut down, are increasingly busy after a long, long slow period.

The article below notes that digital in hardly going to disappear, but film is above its bottom level and seeing some action. If anyone is interested, I recommend The Revenge of Analogue, published in 2016, I believe; you may wish to scan some parts a bit quickly, but the last section is also of interest, regarding education, etc.
