A Foray into Film Photography

I haven’t been posting on here regularly because quite frankly I have been quite uninspired for the last few years. The ease of use with DSLRs and the ability to take a “perfect” photo has left me a bit bored. I randomly came up on an article highlighting the beauty of analog technology and it
