Surprise: Taking an instant photo is always a surprise. There are no screens for preview, not many controls you can play around with, and you can never predict how a photo will come out. The surprise can be great! When a photo comes out better than I expect it, or when it captures something that I didn’t realize in the view finder. But it can also be a bad surprise, when it’s over/under exposed, when it doesn’t capture what I wanted to, when I run out of film.
Love: This is a photo album I got maybe 5 years ago. After realizing that I rarely look at the photos I take on my phone, I wanted a physical album to store instant photos/printed digitals that I can flip through. I still rarely see these photos, only when I am storing some new photo and maybe because of that, I find myself flipping through all these good and bad memories and remembering things that I have already forgotten.
