What really rebooted my photography is buying a high quality (well not even all that high, a used Pixma Pro 200) photo printer. There is something special about holding pictures printed on quality paper. They make great gifts (well if they are good!) They look different than on a screen.

I print (good) iphone photos without any retouching or correcting on photo 4x6 and they look great! Doing this without fiddling in lightroom is the closest I've gotten to the experience of film photography but with digital.

Ha, the printer killed my love in the end. It just had an end of life. Finished. Meh!! £1500 gone!

But yes, loved printing and seeing the analog reality. Different papers, inks etc. The slow sounds of production.
