  • Take photos. Take them all the time. You don’t even need to have a reason. I’m not that old, but I think all the time how I wish I had more pictures from my adolescent years. With film, you measured your photo taking opportunities. And when you did take one, there’s a ton of ways it could go wrong. The odds of getting exactly what you were looking at, in focus, without your thumb covering half the lens varied greatly. Hell, a decent camera was an investment. I used disposable cameras a ton… which were a total crap shoot. And then you had to STORE THE PICTURES. and holy hell, save those negatives. No telling when you might need to get a second print of that orange double exposure where it looks like your face is peering out of your cats asshole. Digital storage is only getting cheaper. Cameras are only getting better and cheaper. I didn’t have cell phone cameras that were decent until my 30s. TAKE PICTURES.
