C'mon people.  People who use and love film have to realize that
they are such a tiny part of the population now that you can
reasonably referred to a very small niche market.  The analogy
about listening to music with records compared to CDs and iPods
is pretty much the same argument.  The general public left the
records, and they left film years ago. The articles are about
what the general public uses, not some niche group. The only
time mainstream media will give you any press is when someone is
writing an article and includes it as a nostalgia piece or
states that X photographer uses film. And the only reason they
write it is that it seems quaint.  Film has moved into the
obscure, as far as the general public knows and cares.  You are
the equivalence of people who still shoot black powder instead
of cartridges and get together on weekends and try to kill paper
targets.  Get over it, and do what you like to do and quit
worrying about what the mainstream cares about.
