I noticed, while milling around the Bishop Arts District before the Mardi Gras Parade, a little piece of cardboard box down an alley, with two disposable cameras sitting on it.
The box said:
I may not have mega-pixels
But I’m still pretty awesome

I thought about grabbing a camera and taking a shot, but hesitated and some other folks grabbed it first. You snooze, you lose. The idea of leaving a cheap film camera sitting around for people to use is pretty cool….
And now the pictures from the Mardi Gras Parade are up on the facebook page.
As far as the note goes… I have no idea about the misspelled URL.
I’ll keep checking back though, see what develops.
I remember those things – can you still get them? I went to Disney World with my two children sometime around 1990. I bought them a disposable camera each but somehow one night they managed to opened the backs to see what was inside in ruined the film! Another waste of money!
I still think they sell them. My kids did the same thing… I think it’s a natural reaction.
