I will continue to teach black and white photography as long as the costs and available are reasonable. I feel my students gain an excitement in seeing their work come up in the trays and the traditional process slows them down to look closely at their work. I have let color film and digital work become a part of the program for the second through fourth year. Now I have a few Photo One students coming into class with digital slr, so I will begin covering digital with them in the fourth quarter.
Sincerely,
Bobbie

Hello everybody!
How many photographers are still using film on the basis that it gives
better results than digital?
One of my students, having worked in photographer's shop says that she
was told all "professional" photographers still prefer film apart from
photojournalists and sports photographers. (I'm excluding large format
work here.)
That "fine art", Wedding, Social photographers all still use film
because it's:
better quality and colours
and if a card is damaged you can lose 100s of photos whereas with a film
you only lose, say 36 exposures (not much of a consolation for the
distressed bride!)
I'd welcome comments fromn anyone who works in or is familiar with
relevant fields
Thanks
