As much as I am trying to be optimistic, it's another brick in the
crumbling wall of traditional b&w photography.
I wonder how all this is going to pan out. How long will it be until Tri-X
bites the dust? My photographic pleasures are being forcefully taken away
and it hurts. A guy can't shoot if he ain't got no bullets.
For so many years I couldn't afford extra bodies or lenses, I've just spent
the last year building up my Oly/Zuiko kit only to find it's fast becoming
a collection of museum pieces.
I feel like I've arrived at the party just when everyone's going home...
