This Camera Cured My Anxiety

Описание: Can a cheap 1980s film camera actually fix a creative burnout? In this video, I share my personal journey using the Pentax SF7 to slow down, disconnect from digital noise, and rediscover the joy of photography.

We live in a world of instant gratification and digital overstimulation. I realized I needed more friction in my life to find calm. By switching to a 35mm film camera and Kodak Gold 200, I learned that limitations often create more meaning than endless options.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the speed of life, or if you are looking for a film camera for beginners that won't break the bank, I hope this story encourages you to pick up a camera and just be present.
