I can relate to your struggle. I’ve also doubted in the past whether to shoot my protest photography on film or digital. I settled on digital (X-pro2 and X-pro3) with a selfmade film recipe, for reasons of costs, convenience and customisability. You can come close to the minimalism of a film camera with customised settings and lens choice, and some self-discipline (the X-pro3’s lcd screen design helps too). I agree with Jorge, in the end it’s not worth the worry. Both choices would be fine. Don’t make it existential!
Great essay and great video. But i don't think your existential crisis is to shoot digital only or film only. It's to caffeinate or not to caffeinate! Come on! You can easily carry 3 film cameras and 50 film rolls instead of your coffee factory!
One suggestion. Give yourself a specific limit to film when you travel. One day, two days... three rolls...five rolls. Shoot digital but give yourself specific, short projects for the film. A small camera and a few rolls of film are no big deal to travel with.

Great photos to start the day. Even viewing the composite images on a phone you can see the form clearly. Very nice.
Hi Eduardo If you find a way to replicate the Kodachrome film look send me the preset 😄
