Why has analog film photography become so popular?

In the past few years (especially on places like Flickr,photography sites etc.),film photography has been popular,and possibly actually preferred over digital photography.Before recently,it fizzled out and nobody wanted to even touch film cameras.Now it seems,everybody wants to be using film.

Is it because of a nostalgic feeling in the shots,or is it now just ‘trendy’ to use film because its not as easily obtained? – What is the actual reason for the surge in popularity?

I’m sure it’s variety of reasons.

Those who are used to digital find out the funness and anticipation associated with film, just like those who are used to film find out how quick and “easy” digital is. Film can also present a challenge, and the developing process is much more fun and hands on than digital (that’s a personal opinion. There are those who think processing in photoshop is more fun). I’m sure it has to do with a being trendy too, in part due to lomography cameras being sold at places like Urban Outfitters.

Film also has grain, which can be awesome or totally suck. I don’t know about you, but most grains I see done in Photoshop tend to suck.

A lot of people like old/vintage things. Why do people go to those studios where they do the sepia stuff in western clothes? Because it’s fun and nostalgic. Same thing with film. It’s “old” now. It’s fun to cross process, and it’s fun to experiment with too.
