In my last post, I shared about my love of travel and a few of my film images from my trip to Japan. If you’d like to see more of my pictures from the trip, I’ve been posting them on my Instagram.

I like to pack light while traveling and usually only take out one film camera on an adventure, along with backup rolls and my trusty iPhone. I love shooting with my iPhone. Not only is it small and light, but I also don’t have a limit on how many images I can take, unlike my film cameras.

I realize a digital camera can do all these things, but it isn’t as easy to grab and shoot as my phone. My phone is usually in my hand, as I am usually the navigator, so it’s ready to go at a moment’s notice. If it isn’t in my hand, it is in my pocket.

My favorite thing about my iPhone is that I take more pictures of myself and Andy with my iPhone. If a moment is full of joy and wonder- I take out my phone. At the end of the day, my phone is like a mini diary of all of our adventures.
