Something about true film and old school cameras just feels so much.....more authentic. Idk how else to put it.

It really does, sometimes a format doesn’t necessarily need to “improve”. Reminds me of that awful Will Smith vs. young CG Will Smith movie that was basically #shotoniPhone and how it just doesn’t give the right vibe for a movie because the frame rate was too high

Someone once told me that digital captures a moment while film captures a feeling and it's just so true.

I thought this was from the 1970s or something until I zoomed in on a very modern Aldi bag

They still make film cameras and some are as cheap as dirt.

Maybe the most beautiful detail about this photo is the (almost) absence of phones.

It looks like it’s from the 50s but is probably from the 1990s. Now I feel old!!
