New city, new camera

I'm funemployed for the moment, and I unexpectedly got an honorarium from some volunteer work I did late last year, so I have treated myself to a new fun camera. I've always wanted an instant camera but I'm not a great photographer so I thought it would mean either a lot of wasted film, or would never get used. But someone I follow recently posted about the Instax Mini Evo, which might be the best of both worlds: a small internal memory (~40 shots, I think) and a print on demand function.

You can save digital copies of photos – but only if you've printed them first. I'm hoping that this will make me more conscientious about taking and printing photographs: I get the fun instant photo experience, but I have to commit to a physical copy if I want to share the digital one.
