my mom made me + my siblings all a photo book with a bunch of pics of us when we were kids from her shutterfly. it’s so frickin cute and i love holding this tangible piece of our lives together in my hands. my brother is expecting a daughter and he was talking about how excited he is to show her these pics 😭 i think i need to make these myself more often!! (vintage pic of me included, circa 1999)

i found a box of my parent’s photos from when they first started dating to their wedding and around when i was born and made me realize: 1. there is so much more life to live!! and i hope i can look back on my 20’s with the same fondness they do 2. how nice it is to have physical photos - i never go through my camera roll but i love revisiting old journals or scrapbooks and i think printing photos would have the same effect. i find that the phone camera effect almost makes taking pictures feel more disposable or practical rather than artistic (for me personally, ik a lot of people who have really nice camera rolls on their phones) so maybe getting a camera or just thinking about memory capture differently would aim me in this direction

i’m no photographer but having something to look back on old memories while at the same time making some sort of art out of it really brings me a sense of comfort. time flies by but I will always have these moments to look back on

it feels so good to flip through a stack of photos and point at them rather than swipe through looking for a good one part of it i think is that if you’re printing photos you’re forced to do the curation on the front end of the process. doesn’t matter how you print them. i got a little instax printer bc im a former tumblr girl but i also have a membership with mootsh that gives you a little monthly set of prints plus a contact sheet that help me stay on top of capturin and curating memories through the year.

the way to plant roots is to stay in the same place for as long as possible! you don’t get that by driving out of town for every meal and beverage and thing you want
