disposable fall

I've found quite a number of (expired) disposable cameras lying around at home and have decided to try shooting them and having them processed.  This past spring I actually took one or two over to Walgreens for processing--they were almost full when I found them, I finished them off with some random shots and had them developed.  Most of the photos, both new and old, were indiscernible (or so I can assume--Walgreens didn't bother printing them.  I have to gather this from the negatives) which was sort of disappointing.  Snapfish, on the other hand, seems to want to print anything and everything (which is nice, since I pay a flat fee for developing) so I think any disposable cameras I find from now on will be sent their way.  The best part is I don't have to come face-to-face with anyone, so if there are embarrassing old photos on the cameras, I don't have to see the photo-tech when receiving the prints :P
Anyway, none of that is REALLY relevant.  This post is supposed to be about the disposable camera I shot this fall, one I found unused in a box with the "process by date" printed on the bottom as 05/2006.  Not knowing what in the world the results would be, I shot it over the course of a few months and finally finished it up for processing last week.  The results were posted yesterday...

The verdict?  These photos aren't the greatest, but for some reason I can't resist the lo-fi, nostalgic charm (reminds me of my childhood when my mom would send me to camp with a couple of disposables that I'd inevitably fill up with worthless crap).  The little things are cheap (I think Walmart has cheap Fuji ones--perhaps without a flash--for like $2.97) and fun to keep in your purse (since I have a purse I actually like to carry now--that's for another post) so I think I'll keep using them!
