Nellie, your beautiful story reminds me of an exchange over dinner on the patio in Bar Harbor about taking photos. I asked one of my nieces why she uses a film camera. I took away 3 answers: (1) it feels good to have pictures to hold, (2) film requires more thoughtful selection of which moments to capture, (3) the people being photographed get the signal that the photographer is seeking personal, not social media, delight.
