Halina 35X & film users get a break

Kodak files for Chapter 11...blah, blah, blah. OK. Apparently film is still at least somewhat profitable for Kodak. All those Lomographers and we Halina users, right? No..... Motion pictures? Yes. For now anyway. I mentioned a while back that late this past year all the major manufacturers of motion picture cameras have for the most part ended production*....ARRI and such. It's true. They've gone digital. It's where all the R&D money is going.

 

Up side is Hollywood and the like will continue to consume massive amounts of film - much made by Kodak - for production and distribution for a while to come. How long? Your guess as good or better than mine. For now economy of scale can keep Kodak's film division profitable. Unless some diligent mind at Kodak can figure how to best mess that up as well.

 

And here is Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. I had forgotten how much I like this......anyway.

 

BTW, Entertainer Whitney "Crack is whack" Houston has passed away at age 48. Sad. She once said something about being her own worst enemy. Something true of most of us? Perhaps. Never a fan myself, but she was I gather pretty important to lot of people.
