As much as I like using film, I think at this point I'm happy to let it be a second preference to a digital camera. Thanks for your kind comments regarding my photos. I haven't had any urban shots for a while but I did manage to take a few of those last weekend. Will post them if they are any good. Will let you know if I decide to sell film related stuff.

I agree - shooting B&W film transformed my perspective as a photographer and really made it into a serious hobby for me. I've only been doing it for about a year now, but I really love it. I still prefer my digital for nature scenes and things like mountain climbing because when its about the color, I'm not always satisfied with film. Doing my own developing has been another great step. It makes the workflow even more tedius, but the process and level of control is really satisfying (its also cheaper!). I look forward to seeing your pictures on flickr regardless of the medium. Your urban stuff, in particular, is always inspiring and your shots were certainly what motivated me to try out film (happening on a free camera didn't hurt either). Oh, and if you find yourself in a position to sell (or loan out) your film stuff. Like your bulk loader, etc., let me know. The DP2 looks awesome (but spendy!).
