Mark!
I nominate this for inclusion in the 2006 quote list?
Film is like making love. Take your time. Sometimes it works, sometimes
not. No guarantees. But when it does, it sure does beat the instant
result.

This morning I got out my LX and realised how much I've missed shooting
film. With all the advantages of running costs, time and convenience of
digital use, I still want to be limited to the number of photographs I
can
take on a film, the inconvenience of buying, storing and processing -
both
costly and slow as I don't do this myself - and no immediate results.
I can't immediately think of a good reason as to why film still has such
a
hold, although the anticipation of a set of developed slides landing on
the
doormat from the post may well be part of it.
Time to buy some film. I miss it!

Yep. Me too.

result.
Still, on the risk of extending the metaphor, I like the best of both
worlds.
