Fade to Black

I think I am right to assume most of you reading this are simply too young to have worked on film, and so the "nostalgia" these images evoke is only regarded as a moody way to take "the usual pictures". Most of us are too young to have ever seen a photographic plate or a large format bellow camera, still the looks of those old photos continue to fascinate us. So much in fact that we've come to find a digital magic recipe to simulate the limits and failures of that old technology. Strong color casts, film grain, softening of edges- all here, we actually LOVE them so they're back in the digital age.It simply works when it shouldn't. Why? Dunno.. you tell me.
