Analog

By: Gabriela Yareliz

I read a piece on Substack about having an “analog fall.” To live life like a 90s sitcom adult. Imagine that. I smiled and thought back at this past weekend where we took photos of some neat antique cars with disposable film cameras. I had been organically inching toward analog before I saw this piece. The idea of reading physical books and media, taking photos with a film camera, painting on a page with a brush and playing board games sounds refreshing. Our hands need to touch more than a screen.

Weather-wise— this is the last day of summer. It’s our (allegedly) last day of hot weather before things take a turn. We are ready to bust out our jackets. Decided to bust out some loafers. I have this mustard quilted jacket that I had in mind, and yesterday, I plucked it out of closet obscurity. It is ready.

The Pilates by Bryony challenge with Refy’s Jess Hunt kicked off yesterday, and it’s spicy! Hoping to continue my seasonal cleaning today. Also hoping to do something analog after I get off the mat.

What analog thing can you bring back and practice this autumn?
