printing photos

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

scrolling through your own instagram

i went through my instagram and looked at all the posts and all the slides and wow, my friends all look so happy. i miss being the person who takes a million photos because i captured so many happy moments. that side of me still comes out in certain friend groups but theese days i feel like i have less inclination of reach for my camera. some people say it's living in the moment but for me part of living in the moment is the craving to capture it. people criticise social media for only showing the good parts of life, and i absolutely get that, but it's fun to look at when it's yours and you forget how whimsical and lovely life can be sometimes. lot of yap to say that i love taking photos and i adore my friends but it's par for the course at this point <3

printing out photos

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.
