Does anyone other than me still shot using film?

Call me old fashioned, but I just love the tactile experiance of working with film and paper in the darkroom.

    You are not the only one, I use film too. For work only digital, but I still shoot film, 120 and 35mm. I'm in art school though, so we have access to a darkroom. I can't remember the name now, but there was a photographer who covered the elections and Obama's inauguration with a large format camera.
    He had amazing images and there were something different from the thousands of images going through the wires.

    I wish I had taken up photography in high school as it would have let me experience film. However, digital has allowed me to scratch the surface without the costs involved with film. I have huge respect for those who can use film.

    The local college has a very good photography department, so I take 1 class every semester just so that I have access to their darkroom. It's gonna be a sad day when it ends for me. I just might have to create a small lab in my garage just so I can continue to work.

    Stopped using film when I lost access to a darkroom. If I ever get to have one again I will definitely be breaking out my twin lense medium format camera again some b&w. *sigh*

    I use film, but when I leave school I will not have access to the darkroom anymore :(. I find using film more fun since I get to experience everything.

    I love using my Holga it uses 120 film and I can develop at home, I use a changing bag to put the film in a developing container and when I am done I scan my negative into the computer and print.

    Here is a shot I did with this process.
