        Digital Noise / Film Grain
        With analog film, grain is the result of small chemical particles that have not received enough light. Within digital image sensors, noise is the result of unwanted signals created by the camera’s digital circuitry; this can be due to excess heat or a sensor’s ability to handle unruly signals in the airwaves.
        
        Dynamic Range?
        A release by Kodak showcased that most film has around 13 stops of dynamic range. Today’s modern digital cameras all average around 14 stops of dynamic range, with high-end units such as the Nikon D810 reaching almost 15 stops. Film continuous to deliver incredible dynamic range, but today’s digital technology can easy match it.
        
        Cost
        Analog is much more affordable up front, and you will most likely be able to use your film body for decades to come, as genuine enhancements are to the film itself. That being said, analog shooters will be spending a lot more money on film rolls and development costs.
      - Instant gratification?
        
        Based on pure volume, the no. of pictures we take on film vs. digital cameras is vastly different. We snap many pictures because they come at no extra cost to us before arriving at the one that we like
        
        People had to wait up to weeks to get their photos developed-- receiving them and viewing them together helps to relive the memories. They did not know how the pictures turned out until then vs. today where photos are taken and simply archived
    - - Sales of photographic film have been steadily rising over the last few years, with professionals and amateurs alike rediscovering the artistic control offered by manual processes and the creative satisfaction of a physical end product
  - - - Kodak and the American Dream were made for one another. The wholesome images of All-American family fun portrayed in their long running advertisements would saturate our Kodacolor dreams for decades creating a template for the middle class.
      - Super Easy to use, even a kid can capture moments in your family's history
      - Capture memories
- - - - FRAGILITY OF FILM?
- - - - The first durable color photograph was a set of three black-and-white photographs taken through red, green and blue color filters and shown superimposed by using three projectors with similar filters. It was taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861 for use in a lecture by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who had proposed the method in 1855.
  - - - Important people and events often are captured in photos that are preserved long after the people themselves are gone, allowing later generations to experience history.

      - How to create art by destroying film negatives
  - - - In the 1990s a group of art students in Vienna, Austria, started to take photographs with a Lomo Kompakt Automat – a small, enigmatic Russian camera that they knew little about. They snapped away with the toy camera and were fascinated by the interesting and colourful prints they created. The digital revolution was starting to take off and yet these students were enamoured with a process that was, even then, considered dated. When others found out what the little plastic camera was capable of, it ignited a new style of experimental photography and the movement was born overnight.
        
        10 Rules of Lomography
        
        Take your camera everywhere you go.
        
        Use it any time – day and night.
        
        Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
        
        Try a shot from the hip.
        
        Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
        
        Don’t think.
        
        Be fast.
        
        You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
        
        Or afterwards either.
        
        Don’t worry about any rules!
        
        Part of what makes Lomography so enjoyable is the unpredictability that comes with it; no two photos ever look the same, therefore there is plenty of scope for curious and creative minds.
        
        I love Lomography because every photo you take is unique and you have the excitement of waiting for the film to be developed before seeing your results. It makes each shot feel special.
