people ask me why i use film when digital is so much better. 'it's sharper, it's cheaper, it's faster.' yeah, sure. but is it better?
there's something about waiting for your scans to come back that makes you value the image more. you only get 36 shots. you have to be intentional. you have to be there. with digital, you can just spray and pray. with film, you're committed. lowkey, film taught me how to actually see light, not just measure it. and the colors? digital can try to mimic them but i

finally sorted through 1000+ photos for my portfolio. choosing just 20 is lowkey painful. but progress is progress. tbh my shutter finger is tired.
