At the moment, I’m carrying the Olympus Trip 35 in my pockets again. It’s a very pleasant little camera, and it had been quite a while since I last used it. And now for the readers (who are of course few). But I do wonder who or what started all those strange # hashtags. I definitely have my doubts about Caturday, etc., etc., but this photo does fit perfectly with Fensterfreitag, of course. Don’t worry, I won’t be taking part in it any further. Usually I carry a half-frame camera with me, but during these dark grey days in Belgium I just don’t manage to fill those 72 frames quickly enough. This way, though, I get to dive back into my Trip 35 archive again! And this is clearly a street photography image… simply noticing a scene while walking and trying to capture it. And no, I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately, film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion. #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #rotterdam #olympustrip35 #film #believeinfilm #trip35 #streetphotography #streetlife #trainstation #holland #blackandwhite

The hashtags are helpful because you can follow them if they are things that interest you. Compared to other social media this is a time based algorithm for the most part so following hashtags can help you not miss anything you are interested in! ✨

I know that hashtags are helpful in a normal way of use but what I noticed here on Pixelfed is that there are strange # ... For example, I'm interested in analog photographers so there are a couple of good film #'s around. But I notice that there's also the kind of #'s that people start to use their film on so they can get views on.. It's a kind of weird that I know on Friday I end up looking at a lot of ( not that interesting ) windows ;D
