Fun With A Disposable Camera

From Photojojo:

STEP 1: Buy a cheap disposable camera.

STEP 2: Take your disposable camera everywhere you go for a week, or on a vacation. Take pictures of all your friends. Fill it up with photos.

STEP 3: Write your name, address, phone, email, today's date, and the words “Photo Time Capsule! Develop me in a few years” on the camera. Sock it in a drawer.

STEP 4: Let time pass. Move in and out of relationships, jobs, apartments. Find happiness and live life fully.

STEP 5: Rediscover camera in some dusty box, bookshelf, or corner. Develop it.

STEP 6: Admire the odd stains and scratches on the photos you get back. Marvel at what your sepia-toned life was once like. Sigh, smile.

The Inspiration For This Project

This idea for a DIY photo time capsule originally came from Adam Varga, who discovered an old disposable camera and developed the photos years later.

Hmmm... Jim and I use disposable waterproof cameras all the time. And Adam's story reminded me that I have a old (undeveloped) waterproof disposable camera somewhere from that time Jim & I went camping and whitewater rafting near Gatlinburg a few years ago. Now if only I could remember where I put it!!!
