Random Question: Does it make more sense to say a metaphor is like a simile, or a metaphor is a simile?

Last night after work I took my first few shots using the Impossible Project black and white film. First, it has one big disadvantage and one big favorable advantage over the color film: the disadvantage is that you have to immediately shield the film from light when it comes out of the camera. The advantage is that it develops in 3-5 minutes instead of the 35-45 that the color film requires. The advantage is more important. Shielding the film is easy: you can either shoot it straight into the film box or just cover it with the palm of your hand, but seeing the result in a few minutes makes all the difference in the world. This is the instant photo experience we remember.

I took more shots this morning and will show a couple tomorrow. I’m starting to get a better hand of this camera and film and the shots are getting better.
