Why I Use Disposable Cameras









Again, these are from college, I am sorting through the archives to find stuff I like while I work on printing new stuff for you all to look at. I shot these with a camera that costs $1.50 and expired color film that cost $0.50. The combination of expired cheap film and plastic lens resulted in these bizarrely colored images. I also printed these, and the color processor I was using at the time (with the always optimistic name HOPE) was having a little trouble that week. For some reason, stuff (I really have no idea what) kept getting stuck on the rollers and making these very strange white marks on the images. But I really really like these pictures. I think that the weird marks and the colors complement each other. Basically, I made a few mistakes, used really inferior materials, and totally lucked out. I think they are beautiful, and I hope you do too.
