At the time of writing this, I’ve never pressed the shutter on a film camera. Not even once. Naturally, I also have zero knowledge of how film is processed. As a digital native, I stick to sensor-driven cameras and avoid the chemically messy business of old-school film photography.
However, although I have no experience shooting on film, that’s not to say I don’t appreciate the process – especially the science and craft that goes into turning negatives into the finished product. In fact, I was so engrossed by actress Olivia Wilde’s recent tour of Kodak’s New York film lab that I think all photographers – especially digital natives – should watch it.
