Nice article about my project and book by Kirsten Rian in DAYLIGHT blog/magazine

This article by Daniel Eagan in THE ATLANTIC discusses the analog-to -digital switch in the movie industry.  Hollywood is the last domino to fall.

Eagan states:  Here’s an indication of how dire the situation has become. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars, held “the first-ever ‘Film-to-Film’ Festival,” from September 27 to 29. It is an outgrowth of the Academy’s “Project Film-to-Film,” an initiative designed “to take advantage of the current, but threatened, availability of film stock.”

In other words, a film festival celebrating film itself.

I’ve had a few responses recently commenting on the current status of film and the photographic industry.  This fascinating story is still playing itself out and it’s difficult to determine what will happen in the next five years.   However, there is a story in the Democrat & Chronicle  about a recent podcast by Kodak spokesman Ed Monahan quoted as saying: “While I’d like to say we have seen the worst of it, we’re seeing just the beginning of another onslaught.”
