Used to have three cameras. Over time, I took, perhaps 2 or 3 thousand pictures.
I have lost interest for 3 reasons.
- Lack of subjects.
- Change of medium. I lliked 35 mm film. Now anyone with a phone has countless pictures. I am not saying it is worse, just different.
- Purpose. I am old. No one wants my pictures. When I die, I don’t guess anyone will want any of the pictures I have. I do still take a photo now and then, but once I am gone, but I doubt any will outlive me.

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
I’ve thought the same thing about my camera photos. I no longer have most of the photos I took with my old 35mm camera, but I still have the camera.
But does it work and can you get the film developed. Still, I know exactly how you feel. It makes me wonder what will happen to my equipment. Sometimes progress can be, for the lack of a better word, sad.
Maybe I should go through some of my better photos and get them developed, if only for display in my office.
I never owned a camera, just bought disposables lol😮 Now with Smart phones, we don’t really need to.
