The world is ever shifting and it seems daily we’re living in new unprecedented times. Personally, I’m so tired of the constant news cycle with one story being worse than the last.
Everyone is so on edge, myself included. I’ve taken a step back from all social media sites and that’s definitely helped. I’ve also embraced some hobbies that require my full focus and attention when I’m doing them. My favorite is photography. I can grab my camera and go just about anywhere and find something to take a picture of. I dabble in street, macro, landscape and various other disciplines.
Recently I decided to get into film photography which years ago I said I would never do. I just didn’t see the appeal. I’ve only shot 2 rolls of film so far but it’s required so much thoughtfulness while doing it. I have to be aware of my camera’s settings, what the light is doing around and also adjust the camera’s exposure. I may very well have 2 rolls of garbage but if one comes out the way I saw it my head I’ll be stoked.
When I’m shooting film I’m able to drown out a lot of my anxiety and stress which is very welcome respite.
