It’s yet another time for some analog frames! I got these developed on the first day of Eid break—thankfully, Anak Analog was still open. It’s supposed to be filled with 3-month worth of memories, but since my camera’s flash recently failed, a lot of the frames got wasted in the end—too dark to make anything out, to be honest. In the end, I was left with only 18 viable shots—half of which are off-focus and almost pointless. Not going to lie, it kind of hurts 🥲 but seeing how good and meaningful the rest are, I feel a whole lot better.

There’s just something really charming about looking at your life through analog frames, don’t you think? Instantly, it looks like I live in a different decade—the 70s or 90s—and the power of high technology has yet to catch up with us. It feels so quaint and raw in a way that nothing of today could ever compare. It is ironic, though, how I got these developed and then shipped to me digitally—through Google Drive, no less—and then uploaded on a website. The best of both worlds, huh?
Anyway, remember how in the last post I said I wanted to be more intentional in my photo-taking? Maybe imitating the aesthetics of several analog photographers that I know and love? Yeah, it turns out to take a lot more than just point and shoot, you know. These may not turn out like their photos, but I’m happy to try again in the next roll—which I’m working up to at the moment.
