That emotion is nostalgia, whether real or perceived. It's not a bad thing, some of my favorite photos are on b&w film. Film has a texture and (inaccurate) colors/tones that aren't really reproduced in digital cameras but are all over the place in media we consume and personal/family photos, usually from an older time.
- 98codes 7mo ago> That emotion is nostalgia, whether real or perceived. Absolutely. One of my prized possessions is a book I had made from digital pictures I took on a family trip when my kids were 3 & 4 years old. The pictures are of single-digit megapixel quality, but are perfect for what they needed to be: a reminder of that trip, and the memories contained within. It seems to me that the slightly fuzzy aspect of old pictures better matches our fuzzy memories of that time.
- qsera 7mo agoIt is not nostalgia. It was the photo of a stray dog on a beach, and a bunch of fishermen drawing in a big fishing net..so nothing personal or long lost to be nostalgic about...
- packetlost 7mo agoYou don't have to have an emotional connection to the subject to feel nostalgia, it can be more abstract than that, such as the way highlights are rendered or the grainy texture. Good art evokes emotions anyways, it doesn't need to be something you're personally tied to.
- qsera 7mo agoBut why are you telling me what I am feeling? I have felt nostalgia and this is not it. >Good art evokes emotions anyways Yes, that is what I am trying to say. Film results in something "artistic" by default.
