How can I convince my son to shoot digital instead of (expensive) film ?

Nov 10, 2009

He's shot digital, has digi cameras and a Canon Rebel 35 mm film camera ... but wants to shoot film instead of digital. He says his photo teacher says that all real "art" photographers still shoot film.

This is his teacher: http://www.loisconner.net/

... only problem is film is expensive ... especially when one is learning!
