Before the days and times of digital imaging and image sharing via digitized image data, film based images were one of the primary means of image creation and preservation. All that has changed with digital cameras, phone cameras and near instant transmission of digitized images. Adding to this the traditional "wet" darkroom that was print centric has become less frequent.

Given the daily of digital images transmitted/shared is nearly 4 Billion images and about 750,000 Hours of video..

Seems some image makers have taken an interest in film photography as being "different", with some becoming interested in sheet film as their means to access and create "alternative" image making applying and reviving photographic image making techniques and process that were once long forgotten or abandoned.. Today often done with a hybrid digital-photochemical process or some "purist" making these images in the ways they once were made from lens-camera-photochemical process to achieve that "vintage look".. What ever that might be...

Separation and possible distinction from the vast ocean of digital based images of 4 Billion images and about 750,000 Hours of video...

Or another expression of the age old discussion and debate of Fotographic hardware-image making process

-vs-

Artistic_Expressive creativity using any image making process as their means to an end ?
