Hey Gajan! I'm super enjoying getting to know your "eye"! It's funny how fast we get used to something! I only knew film photography until the digital world changed things. I have a few antique cameras, one with the manual featuring a woman on a bicycle from the 1800's. I've found a local camera boutique that sells film for these beauties. I wonder about our lived experiences with gear overtime and am looking forward to playing with one of these cameras. Think about it, bicycles were new, women didn't even have the vote yet (!!!!!), the world was a vastly different place, and yet, that desire for exploring and moving through the world and making, well, we still have that and must hold it up and practice it tenaciously.
Well said. It’s wild how objects can carry their own layered history over time. But to truly appreciate it, you need to have gone through your own introspective journey. Even then, it’s all subjective.
Sounds a bit out there when you say it aloud, haha. Thanks for reading.
