About 4 billion film pictures a year?

Interesting reading. One point though how does he qualify few analogue images are taken? Is he saying every Facebook/ Flickr upload is digital? I think it would be difficult to count hybrid images as digital in that case.
My Flickr account is purely film albeit scanned...

Something I've noticed is that people don't get their digital pictures printed. This is a major part of the drop in physical images. But strangely, the digital photo frame is in decline too. It's just like if people took photos, put them on a hard disk and simply forgot about them for the rest of time.

I have the same feelings Francois. Part of the reason i love shooting film (even while almost everyone else my age shoots digital) is that i have that record of what i've shot. I have the film that i can keep forever. If their hard drive melts and they dont back up then they could lose years worth of work. At least i have the negatives to fall back on to if i need to. Probably my worst thing whenever i shoot digital is transferring the photos over to my computer and thinking that there has to be something else i have to do, it cant be that easy. I love having the negative to touch. Everything else just feels like im disconnected to the photo, like ive never cherished the moment the photo came out of the camera and had that experience. Savour the flavour type thing. If that makes sense. Maybe I'm just weird.
