the disposable camera

Several weeks ago, back in September, I bought a disposable camera to experiment with. These things are wildly unpredictable, so I had very little idea how my pictures would turn out. You can't change any of the settings on the camera and even when you look through the viewfinder, it's different than what you see in the pictures.

I got the prints back a few days ago and sure enough, there were some that were completely black and some that were completely blurry. Maybe I'm not being fair, though, because I actually really like how some of them turned out. It's that old, faded feel, you know?








Happy, happy Friday!

  7. Kendall. I love these. You do great with film. I have so many film cameras, but no film for any of them. I need to get on that- asap.

  8. Those look really great! I especially liked the first one. Thinking about using film kinda scares me, though. :)

  10. My favourite picture was your last one. ;D This actually reminds me, I have a disposable camera with pictures I still need to get developed from when I took them two years ago...

  12. This is such a cool idea! I love the frozen yogurt sign and how it has a grainy touch to it.
