I drew a lot of inspiration from what I saw on Pinterest and Instagram. So, in March, I bought an RB67 in mint condition for €400 in Korea and began experimenting with it.\n\nHowever, I never felt satisfied with the scans I received. Despite putting in a lot of effort, nothing aligned with my artistic vision. Over time, I started to resent my photography work and felt pressured to keep using film for my portraits.\n\nBy September, I decided to sell the RB67. Since then, I’ve transitioned to capturing all my portraits digitally, and everything has become much clearer for me.\n\nNow, I use 35mm film cameras for everything except portrait work. They’ve become more of a “memory machine,” and that feels right for me. I also picked up a MJU II, which has quickly become my favorite camera—it’s always in my pocket.\n\nThis journey taught me a lot about myself, my photographic style, and working with film. Here are some of my best shots from 2024, captured with the MJU II and Canon A1.","score":245,"nsfw":false,"grayscale":false,"timestamp":1735894007,"sprocket":false,"images":[{"resolution":"low","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/7ac604ca-59bb-43c3-935c-ca2d9b9708d7.jpeg","width":720,"height":490},{"resolution":"medium","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/71d39d96-678e-43bf-825d-2b89cf01cefc.jpeg","width":1080,"height":734},{"resolution":"high","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/7872ebb9-4fe0-4864-b174-7366ed33ff01.jpeg","width":1440,"height":979},{"resolution":"raw","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/834d5364-7288-451e-b43a-8883413824a8.jpeg","width":2128,"height":1447}],"colors":[{"hex":"#f5f5f3","css":"whitesmoke","html":"white","percent":0.3727144},{"hex":"#191f1f","css":"black","html":"black","percent":0.32652104},{"hex":"#9ca588","css":"darkseagreen","html":"teal","percent":0.12447518},{"hex":"#3a5043","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.09255441},{"hex":"#834633","css":"sienna","html":"olive","percent":0.01821959}],"keywords":[{"word":"ftfy","weight":0.29295775},{"word":"ektar","weight":0.07112676},{"word":"switzerland","weight":0.07112676},{"word":"portra","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"gold","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"mix","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"stock","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"moments","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"vibrant","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"water","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"ultramax","weight":0.07042254},{"word":"choice","weight":0.00070423},{"word":"blausee","weight":0.00070423}]}
