Disposable

While it can be nice to shoot all kinds of fancy shots with your nikon and your fifty bajillion mm lens, sometimes its nice to appreciate the grittiness of a bad quality photo.  And I'm not talking about blurry pictures of your friend's foot, I'm talking about the beautiful aspect of a photo shot with a ten dollar disposable camera from CVS.  For some reason those crappy 35 mm lenses make some ordinary things seem entirely unordinary (I know that's not a word but none of the other words seemed to fit so I made one up).  One of the beauties of the disposable camera is that you can do pretty much anything to it -drop it in a pool, take a screwdriver to the lens, poke holes in it with your brother's pocket knife- and it can only make the pictures better.  Its a good alternative if you either don't know how to edit pictures, or you're simply too lazy like me.  Below are a few of my favorites from my first developed camera, I went easy on this one and simply scratched up the lens with a phillips head.  I would also like the apologize for the weird shiny look; I stupidly only asked for the photo prints and not a CD so I had to take pictures of the pictures to upload them to my computer.
