I went to get chicken for some meal prep a couple of days ago (Missouri, US) and a 1lb container of just chicken breast tenders costs $13, I figured it was a "labor" cost for cutting the tenders off before the customer buys it, like how a container of diced onion costs an order of magnitude higher than just buying a whole onion, but nope, the pack of 2 breasts right next to it cost basically the same, maybe only 50 cents cheaper, and I wasn't in anything expensive like a whole foods, just a generic lowcost midwest regional store. It's absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention 2 orange or red bell peppers costs $5....

I agree, I've previously dabbled around with adding grain digitally, if you look at my post history you'll see a picture from Las Vegas a few years back that I went waaay overboard with unfortunately, though at the time I'd been using Lightroom for only about a week or so. I definitely have room to improve but I've found using real film and then adjusting colors, contrast, etc. In post results in a much nicer picture, albeit quite a lot more expensive to produce lol

Oh no I totally get that! I just meant when I'm going for an older feeling photo with a bit of nostalgia factor to it I've found that using real film gets the look that I'm going for better, I should've been more specific. It's all subjective really but I've also taken thousands of photos on different digital cameras and smartphones as well, they're objectively cheaper and more convenient for sure, but I don't think one is better or worse than the other.

Oh wow, thanks! I'm glad you like the photo, It's actually my home screen at the moment as well! Lol
