I thought film photography suit me better than digital one. I am untalented at photography so I don't like to show people my stuff right away, so film accepts that. I am just that slow, old, heavy and equally hipster. The thing is, now I don't feel like I even deserve using my film camera anymore.
Film photography is supposed to produce beautiful colour and texture on a photograph, it captures moments better, it is unique and unexpected. And for so long I have always been very proud that I am a little bit different from others from owning and using a film camera. I called him Min-chan. Since I came to Melbourne I didn't have the chance to develop my films, yet I continue to photograph with it whenever I can, and I expect great things in it. And after 5 months of feeling nervous and excited to see my final outcomes, I finally saw all of my photos today.
And I feel like I have made Min-chan disappointed. Half of every rolls are not even presented, meaning that they are too bad the lab didn't send them to keep my heart from breaking.
I guess I am being way too dramatic over photos. It's just that, you know, expectation makes life worse. And after all, beautiful moments are beautiful even when they are badly captured. So I guess I will stop being a film-camera-user and gladly be a moment-collector then.
