A Cheap Retro Film Camera Revives My Passion for Photography
I recently purchased an old film camera, a Pentax K1000, for just US$10. This retro SLR has been teaching me to appreciate the value of emotion over perfection in photography.
I discovered the camera at a garage sale a few years ago, where it was sitting among other household items. Despite not having used a film camera since my childhood, I couldn't resist buying it. After a few years of decoration, I finally decided to load it with black and white film and test it out.
Emotion is more powerful than perfection in photography
This experience has reminded me of the importance of emotion in photography, and how a cheap retro film camera can be a great tool for learning and creative expression.
