rather than snapshots cheapened by unlimited quantity, I’ve learned about the beauty in limitation and abundance.

Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) is no expert (or even novice) in photography, but in both film and digital photographer there are different roles. There is no sense in comparing the analog to the digital version when they produce such different types of art.
