A couple weeks ago I decided to ditch the digital and go back to those plastic disposable cameras you find in the check out line at the grocery store. Once I had my middle school flashback camera, my fam and I went to explore the Pine Island Cheese Festival! Haha what better setting for a photoshoot?! (Besides the fact it was FREEZING outside…oh Minnesota…)
Digital cameras have definitely spoiled me. After each picture I snapped, my first thought was, “Oh, let’s see how that one turned out!” Oh wait…I have to wait to get the film developed first. After getting my almost 50 pictures developed, about 20 turned out decent. But how much more thrilling it was to open up the envelope to see each photo!
So how bout you? When’s the last time you ditched the digital and reached for the disposable??
i absolutely love the look of these!
love these! i’m going to get an underwater disposable camera for my vacation next week. remember when they were all the rage?!?! the carnival looked like fun!!
Nothing beats the look of film! It adds so much character (even though I love the clarity of digital). Love how these turned out 🙂
These are great! It’s funny how many digital apps there are now to make photos look like they came from a disposable camera.
I recently bought a Pentax K1000 at a yard sale and I’ve been snapping away on film for the past few months. It’s about time to send them all in to get developed, and I can’t wait! Nothing like a little delayed gratification 🙂

I love these! the feel and look of film is unbeatable. Unfortunately, I can’t even remember the last time I used a disposable camera or shot film. I think I’m going to need to change that soon!
Looks like you had a great time too. And your hair… it’s always fantastic!

Oh my gosh – I haven’t used a film camera in years, probably close to 7 years! If you are an Office Fan – then you may remember the scene where Erin uses her disposable camera and then literally disposes of it right then and there. I remember doing that same thing with my FIRST disposable camera at camp when I was around 6! I quickly learned my mistake and had to dig through the trash to find it! argh!
Oh I just love all of these photos! I really want to get some sort of film camera but I’m not sure which direction I want to go!

i love these. they’re just filled with nostalgia. I need to do this, something serious. digital is amazing but sometimes I feel like it takes the thought out of it because you can click away. I feel like this little project might make me more mindful and intentional whenever i pick up my digital.
Thanks for the inspiration Kelly!
Great images! You are right – there is something very exciting about “getting the pictures back”. I usually end up with five out 24 good ones though.
great photos! i love using the old disposable cameras. they turn out so cool!
HEY I love these! I used a disposable for my 1 year anniversary trip and loved it – there is something really awesome about film..
