"Film photography is as much about lifestyle as anything else."
Which shows that the properties that make film special has yet to be muted by the passage of time.
Apparently so is blogging about film photography without actually saying anything meaningful or relevant.
You expect something to be meaningful or relevant in the internet.
For most people. It was not lost for a few stubborn people, like me.
I have owned a few digital cameras but never made the transition to full digital photography.
So half-digital photography?
Dan Milnor has a pretty decent Youtube site. He's a long-time pro who started with film, then went to digital, and now works for Blurb self=made photo books and uses whatever. Still loves film. He is great to listen to for great ideas especially in the pro market - he knows a lot of people in the industry. He also has videos on how best to make photo books.

I like Blurb. Did a self-made book with them a while back. And I'm sure Milnor is very knowledgeable. The problems with such blogs is that very knowledgeable people seem to think that actual knowledge is not something people need. So, because they've read a few stats about peoples' short attention span on the web, they decide to opt for shortcuts, baseless, albeit jazzy, opinions, and meaningless ready-made formulas.
Milnor is very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, this post seems to be a “phone it in” post, not saying much of anything interesting or thoughtful.
I guess a fellow’s gotta eat…
Are you all talking about the same six paragraph bunch of clichés and truisms?
I really don’t know about Milnor, he has a hypnotic personality, and occasionally, on the surface, some interesting things to say.
But his photography is mediocre and boring, and he seems to be doing this more and more for the fame and money (whatever little there might be in it).
I watched numerous of his videos in the past, and found them somewhat entertaining. But I can’t remember a single good piece of advice or a good point.No.
Check out some of his videos. They're more interesting and extemporaneous and pro advice.

Charm and style will only take you so far.
It’s a bit like Casey Neistat. His greatest asset is that he reminds people subconsciously of Alex Winter. The rest is hot air and film flam (sic).
I heard some really good advice from him regarding getting your name out there in the industry. He's been down that road and knows the pitfalls. While I'm not a pro, it sounded very good. Another example, hire a curator to put your pictures together. Use a photo book not throw a bunch of photos in a box. He also had some great ideas about which types of media to use and mainly not to use and how to contact pros who then would actually look at your work. If you want to listen to a pro talk about the industry, he's had the experience. He was able to land himself a nice job at Blurb so he's no slouch. He's got an offbeat style and blogs in BW.
Here're some videos many of which provide great ideas for a photographer to get ahead. I'll let others decide if they're helpful to them.
