This clip got me going through my photos app realising it’s a lot of “note-keeping” so to speak; pics of papers from school and work.
It also got me to pick up my actual camera for the first time in a long time. Its past due to rekindle and old hobby.
My issue with this trend is that so many people believe that just because it’s film photography they think their photos are somehow better despite the same crappy composition, lighting etc.
One of the best thing about film imho is that it makes you think about what you’re looking at because you don’t have unlimited shots and its not cheap. Firing off 30 shots of the same scene is going to get costly (don’t forget you have to have it developed as well).
Good points! My camera (the one I’m talking about in my original post) is “just” a digital camera but I find I’m more deliberate when using that instead of my phone.
I’ll probably not go back to film photography, I find digital photos just as good, but i remember fondly taking my sweet time trying to frame a shot and waiting for the right light. I’ve stopped doing that, turned photography into something passive, just shooting away. This video made me want to actively take photos again.
