Sadly, I don’t shoot film right now. I have a bunch in the freezer though, so it’s not over between us.
Great post Jai. Awesome.

YES, YES, AND YES! Although I wish had a freezer full of it…

I had to sell my F5 two years ago to eat, sad day. Hard times, better now. But I just found my T4 and a bunch of toy plastic cameras I got at a dollar store… I’ve been itching… You may have just kicked my ass in gear.

Wow, thanks for sharing these amazing photos!
Film still possesses that magical unique quality that digital will never be able to replicate/replace.

If anyone wants to ditch any nikon FE2s they are super reliable, pretty light and fun to shoot with. Also lomo slide and print film is rad.

“How many mega pixels?” and I can say “infinity” if by “Mega pixels” you mean “PURE RAD”. -John Sypal
