rather than taking 10. your camera roll will look magical and curated!
I used to be the type of person to spam take photos and all I ended up with was a cluttered camera roll and no storage…
taking one photo is freeing and i think it is such a fun way to document life. your camera roll can really be a wonderful place

i used to always be the one taking photos when my friends and i hung out and i've slowed down a lot lately, while my phone's storage is definitely thanking me i really miss it! i miss having a hundred photos of my friends smiling when i look in my camera roll. i've never had the best memory so it's capturing a moment i would never be able to properly picture (pun unintended) on my own. i think i got worn down by the number of friends i had who'd make fun of it and tell me to just live in the moment but also pester me for photos later, and the fact that since i was the only one ever taking them, i never had any photos of me, but when i hang out with some of my best friends with the same philosophy it's so lovely because we all end up with a million photos of each other being happy :))

im trying to temper my social media addiction this month. i get the impulse to scroll at least 100 times per day, however lately i have been scrolling through my own camera roll instead of apps. This is helpful since i have way too many screenshots that are meant to be reminders of a movie to watch, something to buy, or a protest to attend. scrolling through on my own camera roll without ads and in chronological order i end up deleting a lot of screenshots and making a note in my planner or notes about about what is important. Since I have started doing this I have begun to take more actual photos of the physical world around me because when I look back on these photos they make me smile and bring .... joy(!?!?!)

Cultivating a vibe in your camera roll is actually so much fun. I'm never going to look at or use most of these images but I don't care. If I see something nice looking on the internet I'm going to save it for later

having your phone be black and white makes every app 10x less addictive. i turn my phone on & off black and white depending on what i’m doing and there’s an easy way to switch back and forth in settings by triple clicking the side button:
accessibility > general > accessibility shortcut > color filters
and then you can go to color filters (just search it) and choose grayscale. i set mine at ~90% intensity so i can still see a hint of color.
i love looking up from my phone and thinking “wow, the world is so colorful”
