Photography is easier, less original, having less demand, than writing. It is more like performance, than composition.

Yep, it takes more time to shoot one sheet of film than it does to press the digital shutter. This isn’t the reason for using film: slowness.
That isn’t a good reason, since, of course, you don’t have to press the digital shutter often. you can control your finger, can’t you?

Controlling your impulse to push a button is no more a reason to use large film, than is becoming a prisoner of war a method of appetite control.
