Indeed. I’ve kind of just gotten over the cost factor, given how cheap film equipment can be (though the price is obviously going up).
Tina gave me some good advice when I moaned about the cost and said ‘take less/better photos.’ Totally right. After reading that, the number of times I’ve put my viewfinder up to my eye, thought about what I’m seeing, thought, actually would I want this printed? Would I publish this on the internet? If the answer is no, you don’t take the photo. And yes, it does mean that sometimes I may not finish a roll of film for three weeks, but at the end, after they’ve been sent off and I’ve got them back... man, the satisfaction is immeasurable.
