Older is better
Ever since I started using older cameras to film my YouTube videos, multiple people have told me the same thing: that the videos feel more "soulful". Sometimes simply stating, "soul" beneath a video.
This is a sentiment I relate to. But not for any reason in particular. Perhaps what is abstracted by all the pixels and fuzziness, leaves more to the imagination. Perhaps these lower resolution photos and videos mirror the data stored in our mind's eye, all of which could not hope to be as detailed and high definition of what we first saw. Unless you're Tim Rogers I guess.
Whatever the case may be, I'll always be chasing that analog look and feeling. I invite you to join me on this aesthetic journey through pictures.
It's not nostalgia.
