I don't shoot film too often, but it's been on my to-do list of things to incorporate more into my work for the upcoming year. I keep my plastic Holga "toy" camera in the car, and sometimes I'll throw another film camera in my purse or my camera bag, although my medium format Mamiya 645 1000s is often a brick to pack.
