I think there should always be a place for film photography.
Both digital and physical have their points: they both offer a kind of immediacy (come to that, so does Polaroid, but it doesn’t offer convenient replication). With film, you can see give someone a picture in as little as an hour. With digital, you can send an image to someone in considerably less than that.
But which will be handed down to future generations in a battered cardboard box to be marveled at, pondered over, and otherwise enjoyed?
