I just finished the last roll of film. I think it’s time to end one of my most expensive hobbies: film photography. It was fun. I really enjoyed taking photos and not knowing how they would turn out. It was exciting. When I received the photos back, they amazed me. I liked the noise in the photos, unlike my phone camera, which uses magical AI to smooth out all the noise and sharpen all the edges automatically. I appreciated the grains and microstructure of the crystals on the film. Maybe I don’t want to quit. Maybe I will buy another set of film. No! I will not. It was good while it lasted. I will keep these memories with me for a long time, along with the physical photons captured on the film negatives.
