Click, click, click,
Delete, delete, delete,
Phone memory full
With countless selfies.
Every fleeting moment,
Every person we meet,
We make it a point
To take a click.
But oh, how I miss,
Those bygone days,
When every click was precious,
The camera rolls, treasured.
Every photo was accounted for,
Deleting was out of option,
They were saved in the albums,
Some framed and showcased.
And, oh! Those negatives!
And how I adore them!
Storehouse of million memories,
Each of them dearly cherished.
But now, they seem like a distant memory,
Of friends I no longer talk to,
Dreams that died long ago,
And a part of me, I no longer remember.
For NaPoWriMo Day 17.

Strikes the right nostalgic chords.
That was the intention. π¬
Hehe yeah you did it again.
π¬π¬π¬
That was simple but very interesting to read. I’m sure that while reading through this memories would pop up in every person’s mind familiar with those old cameras.
Thank you so much dear. I’m glad you liked it. I miss those old cameras. β£οΈ
Even I do! I’ve saved one camera to show the next generation! π
Haha! Those camera must really be treasured.
Yeah!

“Every photo was accounted for,

Yes! I’ve often thought of how it’s a shame that doesn’t happen now. And, you have to be disciplined to create an album with the duplicates removed and only containing the highlights, for showing to people. But even then, people don’t sit down to go through photos together much anymore.
“But now, they seem like a distant memory,
Of friends I no longer talk to,”
Ha! Maybe you meant past friendships, but this is another part of what I mentioned aboveβ people getting out of touch! Even when they are supposedly friends.
Thank you so much dear. You’re such a genuine reader and your comments touch me so deep. I’m so glad you could relate to it. π¬

Wonderfully crafted, Shreya! A touch of nostalgia, a hint of sadness, and a million memories all rolled into one. Well done! π
Thank you so much Brad! I’m glad you liked it. β£οΈπ€π€πππ
Haha, yes I miss the old days of photos. Now the market is oversaturated with them. Photos everywhere of everything and everyone. A little of the beauty is gone. But its beauty remains too.
Indeed! π
Again came with an amazing poetry π
Thank you so much Athira! This means so much to me. β€οΈπππππ
Remember photo albums? I kind of miss those.
Me too. I still have them, I like flipping through it. πππ€ππ
My problem is actually getting around to printing out my digital photos now! You seem like that kind of person that would still keep them though π sentimental!
I don’t usually print it out. My dad does. πππ
haha even better! he probably has the whole printer setup, too!
Nope. He has a friend who is a photographer, so he gets it done at his shop. π¬π
Even better! πππ
πβ£οΈ
Reminds me of those days
Miss those days…
Awesome
Thank you so much dear. I’m so glad you liked it . β£οΈβ€οΈ

This is so nostalgic. I remember how charming it was to take to picture, just 36 and then waiting anxiously for the photos. I remember when taken a vertical picture we could increase the number of pictures to 37! What joy
Indeed! What a joy!! Ah! Those days… We’re growing old!. π¬
I know! (Imagine the enthusiasm of Monica from FRIENDS)
Haha! OKAY π¬
Only the poet can look beyond the detail and see the whole picture. Love it.

The photos were taken by a village cameraman and we had to wait for at least a fortnight to get the hard copy and its negative embedded at the back.
