Until a few months back i had forgotten the excitement of using a film camera. Taking photos raw, without the ability to delete or re-take, running to the photo shop to get them developed and the long days in between pick up, when the success of photos is uncertain. When you get the call to pick them you rush with excitement, only to find that half your photos are of the family behind you or have only got half your body in the frame. The unsuccessful nature of some is what generates new excitement and curiosity.
Digital photos may be practical, and i realise my next statement may sound extremely nostalgic, however the appeal of such an experience can not be fully replaced with the digital process.
