Simple Pleasures-Film Edition

Simple Pleasures is a concept I've worked on for years.  Most of them are food related, but I thought I'd do one devoted to film and film cameras.  Please feel free to add yours in the comments.


1.  The click of a Hasselblad shutter.  (Unfortunately, I don't have one any more.)


2.  The smell of film chemistry.  (It might cause cancer, but it is one of my favorite parts of going to Coke's Camera.)


3.  The look of an image in a huge viewfinder.  (This is strictly a medium format thing.)


4.  The feeling of elation when the film comes back from the lab.


5.  Polaroid!  (Ok, now it is Fuji, but it is still such a creative medium.)
