Disposable Cameras

Posted by admin on July 23rd, 2010

How is it that disposable cameras even still exist? Once digital photography – and superior digital photography at that, with memory cards and megapixel adequacy so cheap now anyone can allow them – became standard, one would accept anticipation the old burning film cameras would accept gone the way of the dinosaurs. Not so, admitting – it is, in fact, the existence and availability of digital cameras that accept fabricated their disposable chums into an accomplished new beast.

There’s a lovely little offshoot from this – a way in which disposable cameras are starting to encourage something that hasn’t been apparent in the photographic apple for years. It goes a little something like this: disposables, for all their “real” photographic kudos, are still disposable. This is to say that they accomplish an affection of their transience. A photo taken with a disposable is so different – because there’s no way for the photographer to appoint any absolute ascendancy over the camera, and hence the image.

Disposable cameras accept no apertures, no complex manual functions. They just accept a shutter button and a winder. That agency that they force their users to get actual close to the original act of photography — the idea of seeing and memorializing a single instant. Disposables memorialize that instant with no filters, which makes the pictures one gets from them incredibly pure. Every disposable snap is an utterly untouched archetype of a completely un-edited moment.
