petition to make analogue photography accessible again 🙂‍↕️ when i was in middle school, we had a photography class and even our own darkroom. this was one of the bright spots of that tumultuous time of life. i had a wonderful art teacher; i will never forget her. she was batshit crazy and definitely huffed too many paint fumes in her day, but i learned so much from her, both about painting and photography. i loved the process of developing my own film so much. sadly, i moved after middle school and my new district didn’t have funding for initiatives like that. and so, that little passion of mine slowly suffocated from lack of air—but i remember those days fondly. film photography still feels a little bit like magic.

Analogue photography has sadly gotten very expensive recently, and I feel it would be hard to convince even hobby clubs to supply film rolls, negatives, etc :/ However, I feel a great alternative would be to normalise point-and-shoot cameras again. It helps ignite the passion, learn about aperture/focus, and everyone has an old one in a drawer somewhere 📸

that’s true! i have seen some younger people playing around with them. the old ones still give a vintage-y look and feel
