A few years ago I tried analog photography. I bought the cheapest old camera and the cheapest black and white film just to... give it a shot🤣. And only after I finished it, turned out almost no one in my city could process the thing.
Then I asked around and met that guy, a photographer, who rented a small studio and agreed to help. He had a lot of gear, and so many shots printed on different paper. The whole place was in such chaos, as if it were abandoned, which caused even more curiosity of mine. Did I meet a fucking wizard or what?
The guy was like an open book. We had a very looong extremely boring philosophical conversation about art and capitalistic culture... He talked more, of course. The Unicue 99% of concentrated dull bullshit, none of which I can recall (I'm a fan, actually, just a bad one). But there was one thing, that still holds in my memory.
"I always do an exhibition," he said. "Not for the people, but for myself. The whole point is to take a look aside, see a bigger picture and the evolution behind it. To go further with better understanding yourself. How do you want to represent your works? Which do you pick and why? These are also very important questions to catch and develop your inner style."
I went home after that and thought: "You pathetic smartass, it's obvious. I also do a review for myself". However, I took out my old watercolors and put them on the wall with a sticky tape.
Remember that scene from Life is Strange, where Max's standing in front of her works?
Yeah. I saw more than I expected on that wall. My subconscious spoke to me. It's always been. The question is: am I listening? Since then, I do those mini-exhibitions sometimes.
My black and white shots came out awful, by the way. I never came back to analog photography :D
I went back to watercolor, though! Then I gave up and returned again (for now)... But this is a different story.
