Wow...this in itself brings up a big question; if you're buying and processing film at today's
prices, you must be racking up astronomical costs. Add to this the time it takes to make
quality scans and I have to ask "just how practical is this?"
Back in 1998, it cost me about six dollars in film and processing to get one image in an
agency file - it added up to equivalent of several new cars a year. So today, that number
would have to be at least double - at least.
So how do you do it?
