[Leica] Is film making a comeback?

[jsmith342 at gmail.com (Jeffery Smith)]

My problem was not so much that film was dying off? It was the availability 
of chemicals. A perfect storm of (1) post 911 restrictions on chemicals in 
the mail, (2) the demise of local brick and mortar stores post-Katrina, and 
(3) my college deciding that it was unlawful for me to receive mail at the 
school put a damper on my souping of films.
