Film

Film cameras.













It's a romantic notion. And there's no denying that the photographs that come out of a film camera have a feeling to them that can't be simulated, no mater what Instagram suggests.














Does that mean they are better? More soulful? Maybe.














There's no denying that a digital camera takes a "better" picture. At least by many standards that would be true. It wasn't always that way. Early digital had resolution and noise issues, and medium format cameras are magic, but it took a long time for people to accept that a digital camera could produce a good photograph.














The truth is, film is old, temperamental, difficult to work with, and in reality, produces inferior images.














But there's something magical about it.














I think I'll be shooting more film.
