not your phone camera but a digital camera talking about everything from breakfast to the overwhelming feelings you have. basically a digital diary
it's very freeing, I find, and less pressure than writing

i might just be romanticizing a lack of phone and a fall back into old ways of analogue (the y2k version of that anyway) a part of me wants to quit using my phone as much, add some intention to my picture taking and the way i interact with the world. but another part of me says i don’t need to buy another thing to fulfill that need.

i like carrying a digital camera whenever i go out because
1) it's so handy, like you can just put it in your pocket,
2) you get to have this vibe on your photos in an instant, and
3) there's this delightful, brief moment of waiting before you can post the photos you took, unlike being able to immediately access your phone's photos on insta for example.
the process is just great, much like taking photos on film (but that's another rec)

I used to be the person who always had their phone out taking photos and videos of EVERYTHING. I loved it so much because I could look back on any single day in my camera roll and just know what trouble I had that gotten into that day.
Some people say you aren't living in the moment if you have your camera out, but I beg to differ. There were so many small moments that I would have forgotten if I hadn't photographed them, and therefore I hold a lot more appreciation for the small moments in life. I feel like it made me realize how life is not as mundane as it seems, and that I do a lot more with my days than my brain can recall on instant.
I'm not sure why, but I stopped doing that over the past few years. I am trying to get in the habit of documenting my life again, and I think more people should too!
