"Film will never completely disappear, just as black-and-white never
disappeared.  But whatever supposed advantages you can think of for film,
digital will eventually catch up and surpass it"

There are moods and shades which digital cannot touch at this point.  Black
and white film is an art form of its own and I doubt it will be surpassed by
the electronic age.  The swiftness of its growth is also the seed if its
destruction because it will grow so fast those with archived images will
lose them as it moves like a prairie fire. For both the professional artist
and the home snapper this is tragic and has proved true at one time or
another for all of us.  At this point the neuances film over digital leaves
electronic media and the age of mediocracy.  It certainly is becoming an art
form  of its own and may continue in that direction for a long time.  And I
add, "I hope."
