Why I believe everyone should bring a film camera to their summer gatherings.
You don’t need an expensive film camera to start. Even a simple one-time-use 35mm film camera can create magic. The simplicity of these cameras allows you to focus on the moment rather than technicalities, and the anticipation of developing your film adds excitement.
Intentionality in Each Shot: Shooting on film requires a mindful approach. Each frame is precious, leading to more thoughtful and meaningful photos.
Unique Aesthetic: Film offers a distinctive look that digital can't replicate. The grain, colors, and contrast add a nostalgic beauty to summer memories.
Tangible Memories: Unlike digital photos that can get lost in the endless scroll, printed film photos provide a lasting presence, evoking memories every time you hold them.
Less is More: With a limited number of shots, film encourages quality over quantity, ensuring each photo has significance.
Embrace the Simplicity: You don’t need an expensive film camera to start. Even a simple one-time-use 35mm film camera can create magic. The simplicity of these cameras allows you to focus on the moment rather than technicalities, and the anticipation of developing your film adds excitement.
Why You Should Try It
This summer, I challenge you to bring a film camera to your next beach or pool party. Capture the sun-kissed smiles, the splashes of water, and the candid moments that define summer. Your photos will stand out not just for their aesthetic, but for the timeless memories they hold—memories that won’t get lost in the digital abyss.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
