can’t beat a waist-level viewfinder as a better metaphor for how cameras frame the world

film is definitely a pointless pursuit from a technical POV given today’s digital sensors but it is still a very worthwhile process for imagemaking

Looking through a groundglass or viewfinder is just an extension of your vision, so it feels infinite somehow. Details in the scene are only limited by your eyesight.

Screens are always limited by pixels and matrix patterns, so they can never feel quite the same.

Big fan of the way you sent this. I like that film has this finiteness to it. In that what you see through the viewfinder is somehow so crisp compared to a digital screen, or some thing. I don’t know if something feels different, and I don’t know what it is
