I’m currently working with images taken from disposable cameras. I’ve been scanning them into the computer, printing them out and using them as negatives to print cyanotypes. I’m still working with the idea of things that decay or have decayed (the term ‘decayed’ used loosely).
All of these images are from an expired disposable camera that I bought from the antique store. I wasn’t sure if any of the images would even work because of the unknown condition the film was kept in. It has an overall grainy quality and the prints are a little less colorful than those from the non-expired disposable camera (whose prints I haven’t posted yet). I thought trying to use the expired camera was another good way to work with the idea of things decaying. They say nothing lasts forever, but this film was almost 9 years expired and still worked.
