Being Quote by Harris Dickinson

“I shoot on film. That's not me being a hipster. I just like the idea of taking a picture in the moment and then not being able to see it for a while - having the memory retained and then released to you, and getting to see that moment through a physical picture.” quote by Harris Dickinson
