In a fast-paced digital world, film photography invites us to slow down and reconnect with the act of seeing. This relaxed mini-lecture and show & tell explores why film continues to resonate with modern photographers.

Participants are encouraged (but not required) to bring a film camera, analog lens, instant camera, or film photographs—whether a meaningful image, a creative accomplishment, or simply something they’d like to share. Together, we’ll reflect on process, intention, and the tactile qualities of analog photography, emphasizing conversation and shared experience over technical instruction.
