“As a direct result of the popularity of digital and further evidencethat Kodak is dedicating its future to the digital market, it will soonend its century-old tradition of producing black and white photographicpaper, according to Fox News. The demand for the paper, speciallydesigned for black and white film and used by fine-art photographers,has declined by 25% annually. The decision to end black and white paperproduction will mean the closure of its plant in Brazil and takes thecompany closer to its target of cutting around 15,000 of its workforce2007.”As a long-time amateur photographer, I found this interesting. I do100% digital now but I can remember many nights in my lab (bathroom)when I was a kid doing B&W photo processing.
