Its just a hobby but its unique. Taking a roll of film and developing it is the beauty of it all. It’s like you’re developing memories. One thing I love about it, they can’t be changed. They're memories that will last a lifetime. Something to look back on and say “Hey, i remember that” or “wow, I looked like that?” I can look at them and remember the exact time, say, and moment the photo was taken. Yes. I do have times where I lose a roll of film. I get upset, and soon enough I forget about it. I’ll find nameless rolls of film on laying around the house. I develop them and look at them. I’ll smile or look disappointed because I either developed a memory or lost all proof that it happened. I took a great memory and recreated it or destroyed it. That’s the beauty of it all, It’s a risk. You either fail or you recreate the magic. It’s all just a beautiful disaster.

I really like these idea about the picture. I agree with that pictures can remember back the time that we took it. I like to take pictures and I also impressed that the picture can still exist for hundred years. I like to see the pictures which was taken long ago.

I wasn't trying to use productive dialogue. I was to show you what I thought. It should've been put into italics but I didnt think of it as I wrote the piece.

The idea of taking pictures and capturing moments in time is done very well.  The language works well together as well.

I love the concept of the "beautiful disaster," as well as the reality that once a picture is captured nothing about it can be changed

Remebering things and comparing them to the photographs can be really unbelieveable at times; I thought this was a great reader connection for your piece.

You absolutely captured the feeling of being able to pick out a moment in time and recall all the sensations of it.

I really like the way the last sentence sort of ties the piece together.

I really enjoyed this piece as it was evident that you are passionate about your writing of the photography.  You could probably use a bit more sensory detail to help the reader feel the moments of taking that photo or developing the photo.
