Film workflow just sucks, but boy, I miss it. The smells, the timing, the light leaks. I use film a lot, and though I’m a devout scanner, I still get that darkroom crap-shoot result from my local processing lab. They’ve had to react to the seismic shift in photography to digital (don’t get me wrong; a very good thing) but it’s as if they suddenly forgot after 35 years, how to develop film. Hence the dust and scratches celebrated here, on a visit a few months ago with my father.
