so have you considered shooting film for yourself? although it's kind of an expensive hobby sometimes, it is totally worth it.
first you will need a film camera of your own:
I would recommend getting just a basic 35mm or 50mm first. you don't want a rangefinder or a rolliflex for your first film camera.
-ask grandparents or older neighbors if they have one they would let you just have. (free is good!)
-antique stores usually have one or two
-you could try ebay but again you should just stick with a well known make of 35mm or 120 (Canon, Nikon, etc.)
-again you should probably look the camera up on Camerapedia first.
-you could try Lomography but they're a bit pricy.
-try to get a well known camera. not all film cameras are created equal. you can get a pretty decent film camera for twenty to thirty bucks if you know where to look.
-don't buy anything without knowing what kind of film it takes! There's a whole lot of film formats that aren't in production anymore. (620, 127, 116, 616, 110 roll, 126, and a whole bunch of polaroid films)
next you'll need some film:
-again, someone may have some just lying around but it's probably expired. (personally, I think that expired film can turn out some really pretty and interesting colors but it won't produce the greatest picture if you want to capture a moment)
-I recommend Lomography for film just because it's so cheap and they know what they're doing when it comes to film.
-Allen's Camera or some other camera store by you might still carry film.
-get the kind of film that fits your camera. most SLR cameras take 35mm.
and you're probably good to go when it comes to supplies!
