@celestiaforequestria There's nothing wrong with digital. Film isn't better than digital, and digital isn't better than film. Film has that film charm, when you shoot and develop it, it takes photography from just clicking a shutter to an event. My cameras are all manual focus (though not all film cameras are manual focus, read about the Canon 1V to get an idea of how nutty autofocus can get), I have to advance the shutter, load the film, take it out. I know my product is tangible, what I shoot is real, it's not just 1s and 0s. I can see it, touch it, feel it. I don't take pictures, I make pictures, I like that, how tangible it is. I like black and white 'cause I like timeless things. Timeless music (orchestral, jazz, solo piano), timeless fashion, and black and white is timeless. Photograph a well dressed man at a piano in black and white and placing the time era becomes difficult. And it sounds like you wanna get into Lomography or Holga photography, google 'em.
