Enjoyed reading this! Was really moved by this bit:
When I moved to the EU and had to surf in the Atlantic, I hated how much friction there was involved with surfing. Trying to take off a wetsuit when you can’t feel your hands fucking sucks, but it is indeed part of the journey. I can appreciate how much I love something by how much I’m willing to sacrifice for it.
For me, I really committed myself to learning film photography these past few years and while expensive, buying and waiting for the development is so worth it
that's great to hear, and yes i think if we can find contentment during the waiting it means we really love the thing we're waiting for. with photography there's definitely beauty in the scarcity of film
if i ever take a disposable on a trip i find myself considering the moment of capture much more than when i just whip out my phone, and then by the time the pics have come in i get to re-live the moment all over again
