start with an INEXPENSIVE SLR and black-and-white film

I recommend the Minolta XE (linked). I learned on basically this camera. It has full manual control for learning the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and iso. It has a semi auto mode for connivence and a good light meter. Well made and a good camera system to get into. Start out shooting on Kentmere 100 and 400. Great stock and very affordable. Once you’re comfortable with composition in BW, start exploring color films.

canon sure shot tele 80

i got it for a really good price and love its simplicity. still got zoom options, a timer and a few different settings too. i've had a lot of point and shoots and i think this is my favourite. it also feels sturdy so hopefully it'll last a long time!

disregard digital validation and don't let numbers be a gauge of how well you're doing. starting out with a small and loyal reader base is way more important than having a million subscribers
