some photos I took with disposable cameras when I was a teenager.

Once upon a time, you could go into your local supermarket and you could buy a disposable film camera with about 27 photos on for about the same cost as a bottle of milk. I know!? Crazy right! And when I was 17, 18, I used to do that quite alot! I hadn't fully gotten into photography back then, but always fascinated with taking photos and preserving a moment, so when I had my first job and a little bit of free money to play with, I started to get more into photography.

I've decided to start a pckt blog to document some of my photography adventures \ messing around with cameras, so seems only fitting really to start kinda from the beginning with my first film camera, my favourite camera, and the best film camera ever made... in my opinion... I first picked up an OM10 in 2008 cos I wanted to get into photography more seriously and I liked the idea of going back to film and shooting what, to me, felt like more traditional photos. I taught myself how it works by r...
