When I first took up photography, BW was the province of amateurs, and
the pros shot their kodachrome. Everything is cyclical.

pros, serious amateurs, and rich people had digital cameras at that

for under $20 there is no mystique to them anymore. But...

On the contrary, I am finding myself quite a niche market with film.
New customers are looking for archival quality and finding that

I am increasingly being asked for weddings (urgh, weddings) and
portraiture in film.
Black and white portraits are in demand here. I am unsure if this is
due to an
increase in demand for film or just because I have not delved until
now.
Anyhow, to settle the debate, film is better.
