This summer, as everyone was capturing their memories on their phones, one of my friends went to the store and bought a disposable camera. To be honest, I don't remember the last time I had seen a disposable camera before that moment. My last memory of them is when I was a summer camper at age 10. I couldn't believe she had thought of this. Then thinking about, I realized she was brilliant.

The thrill of a disposable camera is undeniable. You take pictures of you and all your friends, pretty scenery and maybe even your food, but it is a surprise until you develop it. Once it is developed, you get to relive all those moments again. They work for your summer job, your formal, the frat party of the century or maybe your cousin's wedding. It makes you the photographer, puts you in front of the camera and sets you up for new memories down the road.

Disposable cameras aren't the cheapest things anymore so I know it might be a splurge for us broke college students, but I promise the pictures that come out of it are ones you will treasure. Thank you to my friend who brought them back into my life (yes that's you, Caro). As of now, I have 2 waiting to be developed as we speak and I could not be more excited to find out what comes from the surprise. BRING BACK THE DISPOSABLE CAMERA and capture every moment without know what you really saw. Just maybe it will become your new favorite picture.
