SUMMARY
Jason Friend argues that the perceived drawbacks of film photography, such as expense and inconvenience, are actually reasons to embrace it. The cost of film and processing encourages thoughtful composition, while the absence of instant feedback forces reliance on metering skills and builds anticipation for the final results. This deliberate approach contrasts with digital photography's ease and speed, offering a unique way to relive the photographic experience.
