My Film Cameras

[@Findmealife]

The $5 dollar thrift store gag triggered me every time. The searing jealousy I feel whenever I hear that combo of words is just too much to bear.

[@aguy4247]

It made me laugh because I actually did get one of my favorite cameras at a thrift store for $3.50, and I know that's what I sound like every time I tell someone hahahah

[@MemeZero14]

it was funnely triggering for me, Each time I'm like bullshit !

[@mitchellhughes5180]

@@MichaelSeneschal for real? Here in Europe analogue point and shoots are real hipster stuff and super sought after. The times where you could get a good steal at a flea market or thrift store are over. You’re lucky you can grab a Yashica T2 or a Mju for around 100€. Contax T2 are very very rare. No one I know bothers with these because of their 1000€-2000€ pricetag 😅

"... and I got it at a thrift store for $5" The first time I heard I was so amazed and believed it. As I heard it after each camera, I understood that it was in jest. I did like the video.

[@helgebrekke]

Getting to the end of the M6, I was repeatedly saying Please say it, please say it, please say it... "...for $5..." And you genuinely had me laughing out loud and pausing the video. I do watch you channel for the analog content, but most of all because your storytelling is so goddamned on point every time, even when doing the usually boring humblebrag-list of "Oh these cameras?"

[@honor1231]

holy shit I just found this channel and I thought it was going to be a generic photography youtube channel but DAMN. This writing and humor is incredible. Probably because I, like Jason, have no soul.

Photography and aesthetics is such a funny thing. For example, look at the bathroom shot at 8:08. It’s so mundane. But the color and composition is exceptionally pleasing. And a toilet is about as mundane as you can get. But it’s a great picture. Human beings are weird.
