Timbouctou, I am with you. I believe the actual demand numbers, not some theory that still has to proved it self. These numbers are showing that silver demand in photography is growing by 4-5% year after year. This trend is in place since 1994-95 when the high teck mania started. The growth rate of the 1989-1994 was much closer to -1%.

++ evrything was to be digital. Still, somehow, paper consumption is increasing steadily.++ Precisely. Those predicting the demise of conventional photography are the same farsighted visionaries who foretold the imminent demise of libraries due to the internet. Yet, just yesterday a CNN poll showed that while 62% of library users also use the internet, 74% of internet users continue to use libraries (going by memory, so I may be off by a point or two). The fact is that, in the face of all reason and cost/benefit analysis, libraries aren't going anywhere soon. I believe it'll be the same case with conventional photography.
