Thanks for your kind words, Shawn! I appreciate it. I used to find shooting film a bit of a hassle, but it's turned out to be a lot of fun. I enjoy the process, knowing I only have 24 or 36 shots per roll, and I aim for shooting in good lighting with interesting subjects to me. Surprisingly, developing the film has become enjoyable, and it keeps the cost of this hobby low – I'm now calculating around $0.25 per picture (Fujifilm Color 200 film at $6 per roll + chemicals which last for 24 rolls). I also like having control over the developing and scanning process instead of relying on a lab. NLP helps a lot and makes things so easy in post. I really enjoy transforming the negatives into an actual photo. It's pure joy, and I'm glad I started thiss adventure. You and many others were an inspiration to me.
