sent 7 rolls off today, the anticipation for at least 2 out of the 252 frames to be above average is better than the anticipation of Christmas presents as a kid
It's almost like edging if I'm being honest like, I'm just sitting on 3 fully shot rolls and I'm gonna get 118 images back, kinda cool, could be the move
Sending your film out and waiting patiently for the moment when the negatives arrive and you get to look through the frames in the daylight. Even then, you aren't really sure what they'll look like when they're scanned in, but it's fun to recall the memories you may have forgotten about if the roll was in the camera for months before that. The final task of scanning isn't always fun, but it can be meditative in itself as you see each image come to life one by one.
noticing life and slowing things down has helped with every stress my body has, it's also got me going on walks to places i've never been before. I go alone and do walkie talkies sometimes too, which is like an audio journal log. i also get some cool pictures out of it.
