I sang the song "Kodachrome" a couple of times. People nowdays don't even know what it is. Alas, the first color film by Kodak is being retired.
I like film. Really. Sure, you can take a ditital print and photshop it however you like.. But film, you can play with light, focus, exposure time... and in the end process, chemistry to get different effects. But, I never took a photo-lab class.
And, it's not reliant on pixel quality. It sees what you see. It captures light like your eye captures light.
When you get the roll developed, every mistake and crappy picture costs you the same as any 1 of a million good pictures you take. Isn't that what life is about? Mistakes?
I wish we can just delete imperfections and look at just what we want to see, but we can't.
