Sometimes I don't even know why I shoot film, somehow being the last generation that grew into it naturally and in parallel with digital. In my case, 2008, the low cost (some film and processing lending dad's camera) rather than the lump sum of a DSLR was the entry point into analog. Around that time I also discovered dad's vinyl collection and just played it - it's there. For music I however personally do lossless-HiRes digital.
And a decade+ ago I had the aspiration to do a long expedition with Medium format film at the forefront of my imaging, now it seems a strange and impractical choice bearing the fantastic possibilities of miniaturized digital considering a sufficiency point (RX100 1" sensor). However, it still feels natural and a good challenge to do. Lugging a 6x9 RF plus its sizeable 120 rollfilms along.
There was a very interesting article mentioning the rising popularity of film as a counterpoint to digital and AIs convenience. The merit of the medium justifies it.

Indeed. When people mention X film and processing combo are "too digital", I can understand but disagree because film renders differently. Can be quite accurate or not, but that together with a larger format is just different.
