Film is sweet nostalgia. I can't talk about film without mentioning the nostalgic sentiment I get when looking at photos or even thinking about them. The feeling of holding an old film camera and carrying around rolls of film brings me back to a different era and reminds me of cherished memories. This heartwarming feeling has turned a hobby into a true passion of mine.
Yet, film is about so much more than reminiscing. There's something to be said about the unexpected imperfections. I've had technical flaws in photo's that turned out to be some of my absolute favourite shots and it truly adds to the overall excitement. Film also makes me miss a time when the world moved slower. Think about it. What would you see if you checked your camera roll right now? I bet you would see dozens of photos of the same subject in a similar scene, simply because new technologies allow you to do so without fear of running out of shots. With film every exposure is valuable. Now imagine that you only have 24 frames to capture, wouldn’t you put much more thought into each of them...
