Analogue photography is certainly riding a wave of of popularity again and I am completely onboard. I find you get much more satisfaction from using a film camera, that anticipation of whether the photos will work out and be worth the money you’ve just spent getting them developed (if like me you are completely winging it and have no idea how to actually use a film camera) and for me just the look and feel of an analogue camera is so much better. I love the idea that the camera I’m using may have catalogued family memories for years and may have given somebody else years of satisfying photos before me.
This is one of the cameras I’m using at the moment, an Olympus Trip 35. I bought this camera from ebay for just £6 to accompany me on a trip to Prague and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. There will definitely be other cameras that I’ll use but after developing my first roll of film I’m totally in love with it.
As a testament to the quality of this camera this is an advertisement from the 70s featuring the legendary David Bailey (and a cheeky appearance of Phil Daniels as well.)
Some of my photos will follow in my post of my trip to Prague.
