Camera thoughts

When I recall experiences from memory, never are they in 4k high definition, it's a bit hazier than that.

When looking at something, one cannot zoom in dramatically or zoom out to include everything in the periphery.

When looking at something, never is it framed perfectly and seen from the perfect location.

I feel like my 35mm camera captures memories a bit better than any other medium, and I actually like the limitations of my little Kodak Ultra F9 film camera. Not only is there the something to be said about the philosophy of it, with regards to attempting to photograph not a person, place, or thing, but a memory in as authentic a manner as possible, and with the humanity of imperfection, but there's an element of being in the moment as well. I feel that having the ability to quickly slide my camera out of my bag, snap a photo, and slide it back in, without having to focus on that aspect as much lends itself to a much healthier trip, emotionally. Also, since I am unable to see the image until it is developed (and I can always take some backup pictures with my phone as well, of course; and I'll always have the memories themselves), I cannot hyperfocus on getting 'the perfect shot,' and I take much more care about where I decide to take pictures and what I am taking a picture of, especially with only having a certain amount of pictures per roll of film.
