New analog cameras in a digital world

It feels odd to write about analog cameras these days. They seem old fashioned and out of date to someone like me. Perhaps that’s why young people embrace them. If you too would like to embrace them (or at least know more about them), Yanko Design has two recent articles you might want to check out:

  1. a translucent analog camera (very 90s)
  2. a tiny retro camera from Kodak

Kodak even has a translucent one in their mix, because why not.

Do they take good photos? I guess “good” is in the eye of the beholder/photographer. Still, worth a look.

How to get started making low cost films using your smart phone

Your films may not be as good as those, but the sooner you start making films with what you have on hand, the better your later films will be.
