It’s funny. I bought a DSLR because it was easier to learn how to get photos right – it recorded all the settings you used and you could check the photo right away rather than getting home, having the film developed and then realising you’d totally blown your shots of sunrise over the desert (or whatever). And now, one of the photography things I enjoy the most is the lo-fi wonder of lomography. Point, maybe adjust your aperture to one of about three settings, shoot.
I figure that after nearly three years of DSLRing I’ve probably saved money on film purchase and development (although, lens shopping might have offset that…). Except now I’m using up old 35mm film and investing in 120mm, and desperately trying to find somewhere that processes 110mm for less the price of O negative on the black market in a war zone in order to play with a whole variety of lomo cameras, and planning to dig out my old SLR when I get home, get it some new batteries and go play with film.
