Two photographs. Then is a self portrait assignment from school. Now was taken a few days ago. Then and now were both taken in the winter. Then was taken with a Miranda Sensorex on Tri-X and probably processed in D-76. Now was taken with an Agfa CL-30 point and shoot. Both Then and Now were cropped using "The Gimp" photo editing software. There is a bit of a difference between the two.
The photographic industry has changed quite a bit as well.
- Agfa sold its consumer photographic division in 2004. It filed for bankruptcy with in a year.
- Kodak has sold it's medical imaging department. They don't manufacture any black and white photographic paper any longer.
- Kodak, Minolta, Nikon and others have stopped making conventional film cameras.
- For those who still like to get their hands into film and chemistry, there is the Analog Photography Users Group.
We can't go back to Then and Now is a moving target. Keep Then with you while you navigate Now...

The first one looks like it was taken quite a few years ago (32 maybe?) on a snowy winter day in some place like Rochester.
Well, you know I was being vague for a reason...
;-)
It's a long ways from processing film in some guys basement....
Well, we'll always have DeWitt...
