lovers & disposable cameras

There's a certain magic in disposable cameras that the reusables could never measure up to. They're like lovers. You spend a short amount of time with just the one camera - making every photograph count, every time you wind the reel a special moment. It makes everything all the more precious, because you know it's about to end. And then at the end of the roll when you turn your camera in, the temporary lover is gone, but the memories remain. Then you move on - buy a new camera, start a new relationship with it - as if the previous one never existed outside of your dreams.
