“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have
caught on film is captured forever…it remembers little things, long
after you have forgotten everything.” ― Aaron Siskind
Analog cameras capture images by exposing photographic film to light,
with the scene in front of the lens being reproduced onto the material
thanks to the chemical reaction between the silver halides and the light
itself. The film is then developed in a darkroom and turned into an
actual photographic print. It’s much more complicated than it seems, but
that’s part of what makes it fun for most photographers.
