A sub-niche of this I'm currently into is film photography. It's a bit more cost over time and much more "work" for objectively inferior results. But for personal and family photos, I feel more connected to the photos I take with film.
As an example, we've just came back from a holiday trip, and if I had taken a digital camera I would've taken a photo of a beautiful scene, looked at the screen and feel dissatisfied with it, and try to take another, and another, eventually heading back to the hotel dissatisfied and thinking I could've done better. But with a film camera, I end up taking one or two photos and then continue enjoying the place. Two weeks later at home I either get surprised or disappointed.
I don't share it on social media. I don't even share it with friends and family anymore. It's just for me, and every now and then I share it with a small online community who are also into film photography.
I'd love to get into darkroom printing next but financials and physical space is limited at the moment.
