   Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I suspect that photography as most of use know it is a mystery to those under about 25. I am more than three-quarters of a century old and find a lot of things which were common experience when I was young are now considered ancient history by young people and are completely unknown to a great many. It is curious to me that the idea of bringing photography to all which was George Eastman's goal, has been accomplished but with a completely different medium than Eastman devised. It is practically impossible to do anything any more without pictures of it appearing on the electronic media somewhere.

Learned about this group today. They are dedicated to preserving film photography and educating student on technique and best practices.

They take donated film cameras, get them going, and give them to structured photography programs so that students can learn traditional methods.

They also produce a podcast series

Frankly, they could use some of the expertise of members of this group, but it seems to be a worthwhile and successful undertaking
