Hummmm I’d rather eat thumbnails all year 😝

Naw it ain’t about that.

I think it's mostly "famous" film photography RU-vidrs who have a big following bc they produce really good videos and know how to work the algorithm, but most of the photos are pretty subpar....if these photos were on a regular person's channel or Instagram, nobody would bat an eye and the photos would get like 10 likes lol I'm appreciative that these videos exist to keep film alive, but most of the actual photography is meh...

I’ll definitely take the make good videos part hahah but I’ll tell you right now I don’t know how to work the algorithm. I generally make what I want when I feel like it. And as for photos … most people take meh photos 90% of the time and that’s ok. I’m documenting and entertaining and sometimes one photo hits and most don’t. And that’s ok. I’m not pretending that I’m making the best photos out here always. I’m just doing my thing and I’m glad enough people find it worth watching :)

@@BadFlashes and @TheOpenImage: While an iPhone may have better pixel resolution and color fidelity than many films, and provide convenient and immediate manipulation, that is NOT what this is all about. It's about much more than the final image. Gad, I can't stand when I have to use my iPhone to get a shot because it is the only thing I have with me. I fumble that monolith uncomfortably and get my fingers in the way and feel like I will drop it from slickness and lack of grip geometry. Photography with dedicated actual cameras is different because it is a limited device, but more flexible in certain ways. Film photography adds a greater level of tactile involvement throughout, as well as choice in advance driving options and restrictions in the field. And uncertainty...which is code for discovery and delight. What I feel when I pick up a camera is completely different from what I feel when I aim my phone. So most of the shots are meh, by somebody's ranking. But it is in the eye of the beholder - images will connect with some viewers and not others, and folks will like what others dislike. I not only cherish the ones I like, I appreciate what goes into the ones that don't excite me. And sometimes I open up to new things. It's about injecting the personality of the creator into the video and making it relatable and/or interesting. The best videos are where people honestly express themselves and find their natural audience.

Wow … k fine I’ll forgive 😆 I mean only if you’re now subscribed 🤪

Oh hells yeah … that would be hard lol

Why yes. Yes it is 😍

Just claim them as my own lol Deal

I dude never tells 😝
