Composition was better for one thing. It was not as easy to crop and manipulate the end result unless you have access to a darkroom to personally do so or were willing to explain what you wanted done to some who had. Cost money

You had to wait to get the film developed and most likely you paid an individual or company to do that for you. Printing is another step because until relatively recently photos were not viewed on screens but on paper. Cost money

Camera equipment was not cheap. It took a real financial investment in camera and equipment to get results. Mostly professionals. Cost money

So to sum up...each image used to take more time, effort, and money to produce. It was necessary to make each image count. Most of today's photographers with the instant access and a HD camera in your pocket will never understand what a true art form photography actually is.

Same can be said about the written word, especially in your case.

It cost so much to develop them, too. I remember dropping off rolls of film and cringing every time I had to pay. Then I opened up the pack and they were all shit. The struggle was real.
