Why film can never die

So it's been a while between posts here. I've been busy trying to get my website back in order and live, it's been a struggle but the good news is that the content has all been re-uploaded and the website has been re-coded in PHP, and I have a brand new content management system.
Today I was going through some old boxes and found some film from a New York trip that I couldn't remember ever having scanned, so I dusted off the cobwebs from the film scanner and got a few of them scanned.
One thing that kept going through my mind while I was scanning was just how incredible film looks! Even when it's scanned (and essentially digitised) it still has that look and feel that I believe cannot yet be replicated by digital cameras. The dynamic range of a well exposed image shot on Kodak Tri-X or the colour and saturation of an image shot on Fuji Provia or Velvia, is just not there with digital. It has been a day where I have promised myself that I must shoot more film in the future, especially black and white.
