When my father passed away, I discovered a Canon AE1 and this model in a box. I can still remember when he took photos with these cameras when we were kids. I restored the ae1 and now I'm going to try to bring the a35m to life. Great video! ✌️

Finally, someone who photographs people in close-up. Currently, 90% of photography youtubers do reviews photographing things lying on the street, fences, fronts of houses, bushes. It's a waste of film. The same with street photography: it's all about photographing people from afar and fronts of buildings. And talking and talking and talking about their equipment. All very irrelevant. Thanks.
Excuse my English, I'm Chilean and I speak Spanish. Greetings.

sir, i haven’t even finished the video yet but i just want to say that i love and appreciate your self awareness so much! also, i’m thinking of purchasing this canon camera and your film photos really helped to convince me :)

Another great video definitely makes me consider getting into film photography myself.

Wonderful. Exactly the reason why I started shooting film. It is SUCH an inconvenience if you think about the downsides (cost, vulnerability of the film etc.) but also so rewarding with regards to memories.

I feel a good vibe from this. Oftentimes I get pretty indulged in my phone and get distracted by it for long periods of time. It's something I've been trying to work on. I think that trying foffer hobbies like film photography as an example or something else I can indulge myself into can help me broaden my horizons and be more in the present moment. It's something I'm still working on but it's getting better.

I've been actually feeling the same way about social media I've actually gotten rid of my phone and I'm so thankful for this video cause it kinda reassured me in a way.

Nice video George, started film photography about the same time as you I absolutely love it.

[Coffeehouse.skateboards]

In all seriousness, even the exposures that got messed up looked good. I have the same camera and if my photos look anything like yours I’m hyped <3

I got started with film photography in May 2020! It's become my main obsession with like 20 cameras now and doing all of my own developing and occasionally darkroom printing. It's really made me look at everything differently

Love your ideas to slow things down. Great stuff.

[AssataAmani]

I’ve been getting into Kendama lately. It’s a great slow, centering activity and I think you’d really like it :)

[Nothingtooseriouss]

What’s filmroll are you using? I like your photos

[literaryvaleria]

Ah I found this film camera in my dads closet! I’ve been wanting to get into film and i was about to purchase a camera but i’m so glad i found this one :))

I just got one from japan $195 to OZ mint con check battery compartment if it has lime on it green and clean it with cotton buds and alcohol otherwise get it repaired. Just saying. Cheers

What are you gonna get to replace your broken film camera?

Encontré esta camara que pertenecía a mi abuela, esta en perfecto estado, le coloque las pilas y guauuu el flash funciona!!! Solo falta colocarle rollo y probar un par de disparos.
