With almost every other person owning a DSLR these days and the convenience of phone photography, plus the hassle of purchasing films and having to develop them after your trips, it's not hard to get why film is dying. but i have always love film photography, way before the existence of iphone. it's fun to wait and see how your photos would turn out, though it definitely can be a disappointment too 🤣

... Read moreFilm photography may seem like a relic in the age of digital cameras and smartphones, but its charm keeps it alive among many passionate hobbyists. I personally find the whole process of using film cameras magical—the wait to see the developed pictures adds an element of surprise that digital just can't replicate. While purchasing and developing film can be cumbersome today, many enthusiasts believe these challenges add to the art's authenticity. You get to physically hold your negatives, appreciate the grain and texture, and even learn more about exposure and composition through this slower process. Kodak and other film brands continue to produce rolls, ensuring that film photography doesn't completely vanish. Plus, film cameras themselves are now valued as vintage collectibles. For anyone curious, starting with an old film camera and shooting on a few Kodak rolls can be a rewarding experience. It deepens your understanding of photography fundamentals and provides a tangible connection to the medium’s history. Though some wonder if film photography will survive the digital era, it remains a vibrant niche community. The unique aesthetics and hands-on nature offer an artistic outlet digital simply can’t replace.
