This woman is obviously using a cell phone. Explain that.

Large format film can have remarkable detail, but it is cumbersome to carry around, and 20 years ago it was about 15 bucks per exposure! Every click of the shutter was crazy expensive when buying the film right from Kodak with a dealer's price and the processing done in house.
I wonder what a box of 10 sheets of 8x10 color transparency or negative film costs now? And then you have to pay for processing. And have a way to print it. We had two 10x10 enlargers. One was for up to 30x40 prints, the other was for up to 12 foot wide prints.
