Film photographers

Although everyone might not be aware of the magnitude of which film is still alive to day the fact is that it is very much still alive. We have the playful photographers donning simple Holga Cameras, Diana Cameras and other cheap film-based models. We have the film enthusiast, who's just not given up on film just yet and stick with their old compact camera with 35mm film in it, them and the elderly people who's just not made the change. We have the art photographer who wants to make huge prints with no grain. We have the people who's given digital photography a try and not liked it, who's discovered that even with the newest and most expensive Hasselblad cameras you still cant get the three-dimensional feeling you get with film. Now wether this is due to the fact that ... film is made up from silver particles and particles usually are round, making edges more soft yet hard, or wether its just elitist film propaganda, is uncertain. What is certain tho is film is still very much alive and kicking.
