When I go visit my family I like to take my instax and take and print photos for them.

Its important.

I've still got photo albums, that have pictures going back 2 or 3 generations of my family.

Most kids or under 30s today won't have that. They're entire life is on a phone, probably stored in a cloud that could be deleted or lost at a moment's notice.

Seeing someone smile when you hand them a photo to keep is a blessing.

The joy of going through an old photo album, taking out the pictures and laughing about them with your friends and family is a treasure that's going to be lost for future generations, its just not the same scrolling through a gallery on your phone.

So print your photos, give them to people, hang them up, save them. Its a relatively safe way to permanently record that you existed. When you lose your phone or memory cards get corrupted or cloud services ban you, those printed photos will be precious, especially to hand down to your children.

My grandfather used to work at Hasselblad so when I got hooked on photography I got a 500 c/m and I use it to snap a pic at every family gathering, feels great 👌

Wow that would be awesome :)

I'd love to own a hasselblad :)

Yeah that shutter sound is pure dopamine 👌

Check out some notes from Bubble Ghost. Some real gold here on how to cheat the "system" or how you can do the same thing but on your on terms.

Loved the dvd post.
