Greater intentionality in mundane things. Wanted to go somewhere? Mark it on the map. Photos? You only have so much film left. Trying to remember a phone number, address, passcode, note? 9 times out of 10, you'd write it down and carry it with you.

Smartphones are a technological miracle but we lost a lot of intention through the convenience, which has pros and cons.

    Separate cameras are awesome and I highly recommend (for cost) to opt for an old 35mm rather than a Polaroid. The non-instant nature of it makes photos more intentional, then its really exciting to get the developed photos back

    I hope you didn't throw out expired film! Sometimes it has some really fun unexpected result, but your reasons are totally fair!
