Some of you may remember that towards the end of last year I wrote about buying a film camera. I took it on a number of trips, and it captured photos that had a raw and textured feel to them.
I bought the camera with the intention of taking it on Maru and my belated honeymoon, however, the night before flying out, I tried to load some film and found it was broken.
I was frustrated. I had built up in my mind that the camera would be a companion on our trip capturing our memories in a unique way. And now I had no time to get it fixed or buy a new one.
I eventually decided to not get beat by the broken camera. Old secondhand items will break—that’s part of the game and risk of buying them. We still had our phones and digital cameras, and I knew we’d still capture great memories from the trip.
