Last April, I went on my first solo trip and decided to do a self-experiment. I brought a disposable film camera, the Fujifilm Simple Ace, and asked myself: Knowing I only had 27 shots, what would I capture?
What things, places, or scenes would I strongly want to hold in my hand? And what would those choices say about me?
I imagined myself grazing the prints with my fingers. But, apparently, processing a film roll today means having the photos sent as digital files; hard copies are merely nice to have. Thankfully, I didn’t know this. Since I was still going to take pictures with my phone (restricting myself to just the film camera would’ve been insane), the whole premise of this experiment was my desire to print the photos.
