No one will get away with it, our decade is ’90s nostalgia. After the wide jeans and brightly colored glasses, now it’s the turn of the disposable camera to be worn at the front of the scene.
At a time when technological advances allow smartphones to compete with professional devices, how do we understand this desire to turn to the old? We will first consider unique renderings that simply cannot be digitally reproduced. The warm hues, vibrant colors, and grainy quality of the photos remind us of photos found only on the pages of an old family album.
With a finite number of exposures per device, every photo taken on a disposable device seems to have more sentimental value than endless digital photography.
Hence, we can emphasize the experience that is available. Holding the camera, lining up the scene in the viewfinder, and hearing the shutter click all feel like going back to a simpler time. With a limited number of exposures per camera, every photo taken on a disposable device seems to have more sentimental value than endless digital photography, in addition to being a true break in time, at the expense of who blinks or wants to rearrange her hair. Because it is really necessary to be patient and go through the development of the box before being able to discover the result. You can take pictures of your loved ones in their most spontaneous moment, without the stress of getting the perfect shot.
In short, disposables are a convenient way from the past and an original way to capture special moments. You may not be able to time travel, but you can buy a disposable camera to see your memories embodied on a roll of film.
