[Leica] On Both Sides

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

Film doesn't suck energy for its continued existence.
I doubt my film will survive the next, say, fifty

won't. In the end it will be simply too expensive to
keep them alive. The history of our age is becoming
the stuff of electronic ephemera.
