There’s something incredibly addicting about film photography.
No screen. No instant review. No way to know if you nailed the shot or completely missed it until days later. Every frame is a gamble, and honestly, that’s what keeps pulling me back.
These images were captured on a 1977 Minolta XD7 that I personally restored and brought back to life. Going into this roll, I wasn’t entirely sure whether any issues would come from the camera… or from the person behind it. Thankfully, it looks like I’ve finally got everything dialed in.
Watching these negatives come back and seeing the results for the first time was a rewarding feeling. This camera sat silent for decades, and now it’s creating photographs again.
This is Part 1 of 2. More images coming soon.
