Film Photography – Why I love It Diary Film Photography – Why I love it January 20, 2019 “Tangible asset” was a term I first encountered in my accounting class. To me, film encompasses both tangible and intangible elements. I’ve always believed that I need to physically hold something to truly experience it and create a lasting memory.
