The one change that worked: I began a quiet, satisfying rebellion against the digital age Swapping my phone for an analogue camera, I took inspiration from my family albums and started photographing the things that mattered most.
And in that sense, my shift to film photography feels like a quiet rebellion against the digital age, a desire to reclaim the permanence and intimacy that comes with holding a memory in your hands.
Unlike many people, who might cringe at the awkwardness of old photos, I found myself captivated by the images from my family’s past, before war and displacement reshaped their lives.
Some of the photos had travelled across the globe, arriving from Canada and the US in envelopes filled with pictures of new additions to the family.
I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays, small moments of joy.
