My copium is that analog photography makes a come back as a way to recover some level of trust and authenticity.

I was reading a trend report on art and it seems like collage, squiggly hand drawn text, and lots of intentional imperfections are becoming popular. I'm not sure how hard it is for AI to recreate those, but it is nice to see people trying to do more of what AI struggles with.

Good luck getting it developed unfortunately. I have to ship it off now, there isn’t a single local spot in my city that will develop anymore

When the demand is back, the labs should start coming back. There's a few in my relatively small city which is pretty surprising. But the costs are still too high to cover the low volume I guess.

		The big issue is chemical disposal IIRC (which yes is a cost just being more specific)
