Film is Un-Dead: Why you should get (back) into film photography and how to truly enjoy the analog experience.

by Dennis Eighteen

Did film die? Yes, it did. However, you will find that film is still around. Film, as well as analog cameras, are best described as un-dead. If you look closely, you will find that in the shadows there is an army of enthusiastic film shooters. Professionals and hobbyists alike keep the art and craft of analog photography from dying completely—and they’re doing a great job. First and foremost they are creating great photos. Their pictures are seen on billboards, ads, galleries, books, and all over the Internet. Once you start looking, you’ll realize analog shooters are everywhere. Like all good vampires, they walk the earth with grace, are pretty darn sexy and don’t really care about hype and current trends, for their magic has been around for ages and will never disappear. This book was written as a labour of love of one passionate film photographer to all those digital shooters who are thinking about getting (back) into analog picture taking. It offers tips, pieces of valuable advice and is simply a fun read for any and all who love photography in its purest form.

Not what I was looking for

Got to be better ways of film photography. Tons of used camera gear. However film today has nearly tripled in price. Giving breath to digital photography. Even dated used digital gear is cheaper than film.

Film photography cheerleader - no news

I got this to help me get started in b/w film photography. The book confirmed that the goal is worthy but didn't help me get anywhere.

Film

I absolutely loved this book! I'm definitely looking forward to getting the Diana I ordered online. I found an old film camera at an antique store and thought it would be cool to learn how to use it.

Had rather hoped for a bit 'more', more advice, more of an introduction, more ideas. It's well enough written, just lacks that bit extra that would make it «worth» reading.
