maybe i ditch printing, shoot color-reversal film, and show my work with a projector!

film on the silver screen---

you'll be downgrading from doing everything yourself to doing nothing yourself! plus projecting photos (while somewhat quaintly archaic, perhaps) is the least awesome way I can imagine to show your art. The quality looks shit and the experience cheap.
freestyle says exactly the opposite.
seems a lot cheaper overall.
A photograph projected in all its glory on the "silver screen" always looks more impressive. Colors look saturated and the subject matter looks dramatic.

Why ask if you only value freestyle's opinion?
give me some reasons why you feel that way, and then i'll value it more (than freestyle's).
I already told you my reasons. Plus with slide film you can't edit whatsoever (unless you want to shoot it, process it, scan it, edit it, and then make a digital negative to project...)
Anyway I concede photos might look impressive projected...what with the 'bigger is better' mindset and all that, but it's pretty ridiculous to think all projectors make colors look better.

plus slides are less accessible. that's a pretty huge con.

> I already told you my reasons.
well you said "looks like shit," and freestyle says "looks impressive." so if you could tell me why you think it "looks like shit," i'd have more evidence. as it is, i just have two contradictory statements.
> Plus with slide film you can't edit whatsoever
right. e-6 typically has lower exposure latitude, but slides generally have great color and contrast. so just frame with the camera, get a proper exposure, and use 5000K light. there is no color balancing, obviously.
> it's pretty ridiculous to think all projectors make colors look better
maybe if you're trying to project too large of an image for the lamp then it'll be undersaturated.
> plus slides are less accessible
than prints? i think it depends on the print size. :)
> This stuff looks intense
fuji e-6 rolls get down to about $5 per 36exp. but yeah, kodak makes some expensive e-6 rolls.

You don't understand how prints are more accessible than slides? Prints you hold and look at. Slides you can't see unless A. you hold them up to a light and squint (or find a loupe/magnifying glass) or B. you load them into a projector and find a power source and display wall.
Fuji can one-up kodak. I missed this iso in my quick scan of the lists: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/02303205-Fujich … at_id=1301 But I liked how specific the kodak film got with its intended uses.

> Prints you hold and look at.
it's hard to hold a 30x40" print.
> load them into a projector and find a power source and display wall.
suppose that you either have ten 30x40" prints hung up, or you have a projector and screen setup. the latter takes up considerably less space.
but if you want to display smaller images, then yeah, prints are the way to go.
