Indie music, craft beer, band tees, and so on. There are a number of common threads that seem to run through the strange mix of people that are now shooting film. What do all of these things have in common. For a start, they could all be considered pretentious.
To be pretentious is, "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed."
For many, there can be no question that film photography probably is a pretentious endeavor. However, I think instead of being a negative, pejorative word, being pretentious is actually OK. I talk little about the Dan Fox book, "Pretentiousness And Why It Matters." His idea that being pretentious is largely aspirational.
Whether you are shooting 35mm, 120 medium format, or large format - shooting analog is a little pretentious - and that's OK.
