tells an important story.
In the 1970s, most everyday photography relied on film.
That meant photographs weren’t instantly available for review.
You couldn’t take a picture, look at it two seconds later, decide you disliked it, and delete it.
You had to wait.
Sometimes you waited days before the film was developed.
That limitation changed the way people photographed their lives.
People often took fewer photographs because film cost money and each roll had a limited number of exposures.
As a result, certain photographs could feel more meaningful.
