🎞 Do You Still Feel Nostalgia?
Do What Matters - Documenting my personal philosophy on what really matters through words and film.
This email is part of 🍋LifeLemons, the weekly newsletter.
I'm super excited to share with you something that's been in the works for months.
A short film and visual essay on nostalgia, and what a film camera taught me about the making of a memory.
For so long I've felt disillusioned with the idea that 'more is better' in our increasingly digital world.
I've felt distant from this experience we call nostalgia and less connected with the photos we take, one of our few gateways back in time.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Film photography teaches you to be more present, more intentional and more forgiving when it comes to freezing a moment in time.
It's not easy nor is it always practical, but this video shares my story of using an old film camera, and all the realisations that came with it on how to remember our lives better.
Hope you enjoy.
