So much more reassuring than binary data. What attracted me back to film in the first place was a) the ultra cheap prices of film cameras, that new, I could have only dreamed of owning b) the beautiful build of older cameras that seem so refreshing when surrounded by black plastic so-called entry level DSLRs, and c) having something solid to keep – film negatives. I think that this hybrid is another cause of the Indian Summer of Film Photography. I like sharing digitally, but I like shooting in film. When I scan a film, it’s used to build a binary file, then compress it as a. I’ll also point out that every image that I share on WordPress or on Flickr IS digital, even if it was captured on film. I couldn’t afford one back in the 35 mm days. My interest in photography grew immensely with digital cameras. I embraced digital, as I embraced Information Technology in general – I’m a geeky type. I grew up in the age of the Kodak Moment. I lived for more than 35 years before digital photography entered the mass market. That’s good news for all fans of film photography. It’s not just the die-hard Luddites that are keeping film photography going – its a new generation.

The whole thing has become cool, even in the digital age. The other, they suggest, was due to colleges continuing to teach darkroom skills to students. The Lomo and Toy Camera craze being one of them. Ilford put down this reversal in post-digital sales of film, as due to a number of factors. Even Ilford seemed surprised, that their sales of 120 roll film, actually increased in recent years! Film photography seems to be enjoying an Indian Summer.

I was reading in a photography magazine the other day (not that I buy many), that Ilford went into receivership around ten years ago, but survived closure, by turning back to what is was good at – film photography products.
