A dying art form...
快要消失的藝術。。。
I went to one of the few remaining shops in Taipei to get a roll of film developed. Had a nice long chat with the owner where he mostly reminisced about the old times when film was still popular. He said back then the demand was so high that a roll of film bought for 25 Taiwan dollars and sold for 27 was still a very profitable business! There was no time to develop film for individual users like me, unlike today, where they need all the customers they can find.
今天去了臺北一家少數還在冲洗底片的店送洗了一卷拍了快一年的反裝底片。老闆跟我聊了好多當年底片流行的故事。他説當年一卷成本25塊的底片賣27塊都還非常賺,一個月可以賣幾十萬。像我這種過路客他們也不會收,因爲接了太多案子沒時間處理!害我突然覺得只拿一卷送洗有點爲難人家。
The future of film photography is uncertain, but it seems many high-profile directors are still using it to make movies! Hopefully the medium lives on, there is just something magical and special about film photography!
底片的未來無人知,但幸好許多導演還是選擇用底片拍電影!我希望底片可以繼續持久下去,拍底片就是跟數位不一樣,整個過程很特別!
