Well,
it was 2 years since I shot a roll of film and about 8 since I set foot in a darkroom. And then someone at work got me thinking about film again and lurking on this site. I took my OM-10 out of retirement last week.
I love film.
It's just a different experience shooting it, developing it and the results look lush. I won't forget it again. I've found a place for it alongside convenient digital and sites like this to keep my inspiration up.
Welcome, shep, from "upstate" (anywhere north of "THE CITY") New York. Now, take your toes away from your eyes...it'll make photography sooooo much easier.
