Shooting film isn't hard - actually its a little too easy - film just makes photos look good. As long as you're pointing in the right direction, and your camera isn't full of bullet holes, it's hard to mess up. Lots of the pictures you take won't work, but a typical roll of film has 36 frames. Even when you get your photos back and they're bad - one after the other - there's always one. 

Shooting film isn't magical, or special. In the end, most photos never get looked at after a couple days, let alone a couple years. It's really all the same, day to day. Most photos aren't special. 

But! My best film photo is better than my best digital photo. All the stars have to align to make any photo good. Maybe it's an ultra high-end photo of a rockstar, maybe it's just a photo of your brother slipping on ice. You have to be there, with the right light, the right context, and maybe the right camera skills (overrated). If everything lines up for a good photo, it'll be a good photo. 

But if it's on film, it'll be a little more like a painting. 

Maybe, if everyone was taking film photos, an iPhone picture would seem special and different. But that's not happening... and it never will. 

A mediocre Digital Camera can be upwards of $600, but Film Cameras have been around for a long time, and there are so, so, many excellent used cameras just waiting for you. You can get all the gear you need to shoot incredible film photos - for under $60.

Still, if you want to spend a lot of money to get a very rare film camera, you certainly can. You'd be in the company of many contemporary photo journalists, and the most technical of all photographers, who still use film today. You'd have them, and then random normal people like me!
