Thanks, Tim!
I don't even know why anyone was responding to those comments made by that account. Obvious troll.
I actually have never shot on film. I waited and finally went back to school in 2008, and it was basically just a trade school. We had video cameras, that's it. By the time I started working professionally, the Red One was already taking hold, and the 5D was replacing DOF adapters. I do look forward to finally shooting on film. In highschool, I used to shoot 35mm stills and develop them in our dark room. I really loved that process as much, if not more than creating sculptures, screen printing, etc.
I do plan on shooting some of my projects on film in the near future. I will make it happen, and I will enjoy the process as I used to enjoy the process of film photography.
And as far as shooting projects that have little artistic value, and provide a pay-check: I do that, too. It beats a 9-5 job, and who says that you don't get anything out of the experience? I challange myself on every project, and I walk away learning new things all the time. If I make enough money, I can use that to fund my own art projects. It's a great life.
