1. Kids These Days Will Never Know the Thrill of Picking up Your Disposable Photos

While today it's more like seconds, in our day we had to wait days or even weeks to see the results of our picture-taking efforts. From dropping off the film rolls at the neighborhood drugstore and waiting impatiently for it to be ready, there was a quite good possibility that just half of them turned out decent. That moment of at last unwrapping that package was like Christmas morning. These days, children will truly never experience the excitement of opening a fresh pack of freshly produced Kodak images; that is simply something we will have to accept. The pleasure of turning over those glossy images, the uncertainty, and the expectation had a certain enchantment. Recall the letdown of learning your finger covered the lens or half of your images were foggy? Alternatively the delight of finding the ideal candid moment you had forgotten about. Given your just 24 or 36 opportunities each roll, every picture was priceless. It made us deliberate photographers, painstakingly arranging every shot. Not to mention the delight of disposable cameras at events like weddings and parties - imagining what funny events you might have caught following a wild night. Although the digital era has brought us ease, it has also taken away part of the mystery and thrill of photography.
