Do you think film photography could ever have a come back?

Why is it hard to put film images on Facebook? - I put a few of mine on there (not many and I took most of them off once FB started allowing other people to download photos). Once I scanned them in to my laptop it's not been hard to upload them, everything almost that I have on this site is film. That's the thing now about film and digital, I think it's getting easier to go from one format to the other.

Some of my artwork is mostly on film. but, it's expensive. I like processing my own film. I like working in the darkroom and I miss it.

According to Huffington Post art value has risen in the last ten years, especially due to the economy. So, if you can shoot film (and still find rolls of good film) and like doing it, do it. I do.


Will you post some of your images?;)
