If you are buying Fuji Pro 400H to re-sell or are selling it and have just massively raised your prices, you are part of the problem. You suck.

So far I am loving it. Loading the film is a bit fiddly at first. The auto mode is really simple and the autofocus is fast, it locks on quickly. It’s a proper point and shoot camera. This is definitely going to be my go to point and shoot. Here is to the future of film.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Photography forums are toxic circle jerks filled with beard-stroking 'photographers' who delight in shit-talking anyone who has a different opinion to theirs. If you are new to photography go literally anywhere else for info.

Anthony Bourdain’s tragic suicide has hit me harder than most. I’m devastated. I understand the darkness, it’s with me every moment. Success doesn’t bring happiness, rather it gives you more time to focus on hating yourself. Show empathy and care for others. Talk. Ask. Please.

Grumpy old photographers are the worst. Whatever you do they will tell you how they know better. Look to the future and educate the next generation of photographers instead of complaining about the ‘old days’. Embrace change.

You read past the Kodak price increase and doublespeak statement you will see that this is a potentially important investment in the longevity of film and the infrastructure that supports film. This is extremely important and takes big money to do. This is not a bad thing.
