This clip got me going through my photos app realising it’s a lot of “note-keeping” so to speak; pics of papers from school and work.

It also got me to pick up my actual camera for the first time in a long time. Its past due to rekindle and old hobby.

    Out of interest, does he ever address the irony of using a youtube video (i.e. digital photography) - that in passing i found too long (i.e. too much digital content, completing the irony) to complete watching - to praise film photography?

      You don’t need to be either pro digital xor pro film. You can like and use both for what they are good at…

        OK, I’ll bite - apart from imposing discipline on choosing your shot, and more human control over the process if you develop at home, what are the benefits of film over digital? My working assumption is that if you start with RAW format from any decent sensor, and comparable lenses, you can produce anything you could produce by choice of film, development process or similar - but perhaps I’m wrong!

          Some people seem to like it. Not everything needs justification.

        Uh-huh, and the significant technical differences between those are?

        (Hint: a digital video is a sequence of digital photos, usually with digital compression taking advantage of limited changes between adjacent photos, but mostly the same principles as, say, RAW to JPG compression)
