I took my film camera to Osaka last year and was beaminggg with excitement when i finally got these developed. all of them came out blurry!!! i sat at that Fujifilm store in silent disappointment……. never wanted to look at them again. i met places and people that I wanted to remember on film and instead they come out looking like a blurry memory 🧠 but let me show these shots next to higher quality pictures i took in the same places using my phone. the memories are regaining focus
