I think there's more BW film than ever! I opened the Freestyle Photographic 
catalogue yesterday. Jeezz there are allot of 35mm films! And allot of 
chemicals!

Last wedding I photographed I had a guest come up and ask why I was still 
using a Leica when it's all digital now? I told him the bride requested BW 
film so the Leica still gets some work in. He went on saying how he now 
lived on Long Island and used to have a large Leica collection until he sold 
it all to buy real estate. We went on talking about Elmar's , 250 Reporters, 
Thambar's, Leica M3's(right about now is when we noticed the guests standing 
around us were no longer standing around us).
