Rant: My niece called my film camera a 'hipster calculator'

She's 14 and said she only sees 'old stuff' like that in movies, which made me realize I never explain why I shoot film to people outside the hobby. I told her it's about the waiting and the single chance, not just the look, and she actually got quiet for a second. Do you guys have a simple way you describe the point of analog to someone who's never held a roll?

ugh that's so real. i never know how to explain it either without sounding like a weirdo. the waiting part is the whole thing for me too.

My friend told his kid it's like a slow game, and @lily574 gets that waiting feeling too lol.
