I don't know what it is about film but I still love it. I shoot 97% digital but there is something about film that digital could never replace for me. I think the best explanation I ever got was from my friend Amy who said "It's just so creamy." But boy has it gotten expensive and hard as hell to find anyone who develops the old school way. I went to pick up my order at the only place in town that still does this (and of course it's at the other side of town from me) and the order was a whopping $225. I almost had a heart attack right there. And this was just for reprints and one enlargement. I will always love and shoot film. At least until I go bankrupt.
