There truly is nothing that matches the beauty of real film. The process, the chemistry, the anticipation, and the image. With digital I found that I began to shoot whatever, whenever, without any consequence for failure. With my return to film I noticed a shift in mentality – imagining the final image before even raising the camera, measuring my breath while handholding a capture, checking and rechecking every setting before unlocking the shutter release. The breath of relief once the shutter has been released and the rush of holding up your newly developed negatives to light for the first time. If you ever come across a block in creativity put down your digital and invest in what shooting film teaches you!
