>>2952361Most people just think film is more valuable. Or maybe they think, you think they're worth the effort. Older, manual camera definitely take more effort - even if it's just setting the focus.
It's a deliberate, established act, rather than a snap in an instant. It's always more deliberate - something you thought in some way was worth recording.
Big digital cameras carry all the associations and violations that come with being smattered across facebook for the world to say on a momentary and disposable whim.
Camera phones are just a bit seedy. Even if I'm certain I could turn a decent business selling european 'silent' cameras to Japanese perverts for upskirt dreams.
I've taken an old camera to cons and people always respond positively to it.
Then again, I also had to deal with a moron cosplayer at a con who insisted I show them the picture I took right then and there, wouldn't take 'I'll email it to you when it's developed' as an answer and grabbed the camera out of my hand.
They got the back off it looking for the review screen. And there went an entire roll of con photographs.
