Walk into Adorama and Calumet and you have to climb over 10 foot high stacks of exotic printing papers blocking the door. Yet photo enthusiast people tend to show me their pix from their iPhones. They just love photography! That new lens is so much better than their last lens! An early LUG thread which I first came on was that in the year 2525 we'll be showing each other our pix with our Dick Tracy Pulsar wrist watches... To the effect... Make that 2010. Still, Paper is a hot item. I think digital photography is making for a boom in photography awareness. The amazing accessibility of inkjet printing. Photoshop for kids who should be out at recess. You can take your tiny Nikon S1000pj camera and project your pix for your buddies on the wall or ceiling. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0908/09080402nikons1000pj.asp Now that's creepy!
