The Old Normal
Once in a while I feel nostalgic and I pull out my Nikon FM2 with its mechanical
shutter and my favorite Nikkor 24mm F2.4 lens. I bought it during my early lean years of university and
I was on top of the world. I pulled it out last summer and decided it would be worthy to document our
yearly family BBQ gathering on film. The feel of the camera with the mechanical click of the shutter and the
turn of the manual focus ring was a very satisfying sensation. The feeling didn’t last long when I
realized I had spent a total of over $45 on film and processing for 36 shots.
