I just read that Kodak will no longer be manufacturing 35mm cameras. Their sales are down, and digital camera sales are up. This could be the start of the end of an era. No doubt other companies will keep making them – but who knows for how long.

I took a photography class when I was a teenager, and actually quite enjoyed working with an old black and white 35mm (and developing the film myself). I think I had a bit of talent back then, and might have gone on to pursue it if things had gone differently.

I’ll have to raise a pint to the old analog devices in fond remembrance.
