Lovely; the look is unmatched, it feels more like a memory than a real thing. Going to take a few of these to France this summer and let my five year old have at it!

love this post. when I was like 8 years old, I took a fuji quick snap on a cross country road trip. we went from Tucson, Arizona to Washington, DC and in DC, I lost the camera on an elevator and we weren’t able to go back 😭 I think that loss fueled my analog obsession.

This might be a silly question, but how do you get film photos in a digital form?

Diederik's avatar

Virtually all printing labs can give you digital versions of your photos for a few extra bucks.

You can also scan them with a photo scanner, but that's pretty labor-intensive.

This is so fun! Thank you for sharing your tips. We’re about to move again and I’d love to capture the process this way. Where’s your favorite place to get film developed?

Love the colours and warmth in these especially the flowers.

What I like about disposable cameras is that they prove the point that technical image quality isn't paramount to a good photo.

I just discovered your Substack and am inspired to pick up a new hobby! Before purchasing a more advanced film camera I’m going to give it a go with a disposable. Thanks so much for sharing your tips - your art is so beautiful! 🌸

Your photos are lovely! It is such a good idea to give kids the camera. I have used one dispodable camera before, and they're so fun! Unfortunately it is a bit expensive to develop it here in my country :( would love to use it again someday

Like the subject and story. I was never happy with disposable cameras myself, but you do have a knack for getting decent shots out of them. That church interior is by far my favorite!
