Even in our increasingly digitized world, old Gutenberg and Bi Sheng would probably be pleased that so many readers still prefer words printed on paper rather than displayed on a glowing screen.

The accompanying image, captured by Bath Beach photographer David Tan, shows a store on the corner of 4th Avenue and 92nd Street over which the written word still rules.

The photo was appropriately taken using good old-fashioned Fuji Superia 200 film on October 8, 2012.

The above picture shows a man sitting at the top of a staircase that leads down into the 95th Street R Train Station, reading the paper, and possibly listening to what looks like an old transistor radio.

For this shot, Bath Beach photographer David Tan used a Konica Autoreflex T3 with Kodak Ektar 100 film. It was taken on April 25, 2012.
