At the least, I have a neat prop for an upcoming issue of <strong>MICRO-FILM<\/strong>, if not another tool with which to make a film. But the mind boggles as to why its previous owner felt the camera was not worth anything more than a back-door exodus. The timing of this Super 8 rescue comes right on the heels of the recent closings of two Champaign-Urbana film-oriented stores, <strong>Film Processing Ltd.<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Bates Camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Is film truly teetering on the brink of death like everyone says it is?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8211; Jason Pankoke<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>Photo illustrations by JaPan<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is film truly teetering on the brink of death like everyone says it is?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-images-du-cu","category-jp-confidential"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
