$5 Disposable Camera from Walgreens. My new street photography camera.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

When it comes to street photography, I am a huge advocate that it doesn’t matter what camera you have for street photography. You don’t need a $6900 Leica M9<\/a> to do street photography–whatever camera you have on you will work. In-fact, there is no “best” camera for street photography, as every camera out there has its own pros\/cons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To help bring some light to the issue that what camera you use for street photography doesn’t matter, I decided to do a new project involving disposable cameras. First inspired by the Mosaic photography contest<\/a>, where contestants in Beirut, Lebanon had to take photos with disposable cameras– I was quite amazed by the results. And at $5, disposable cameras are certainly cheap. Sure buying a ton of them and developing the film isn’t, but I thought it might be a fun exercise regardless.<\/p>\n

All the images taken below were with a disposable $5 Walgreens camera<\/strong>. I am quite pleased how they came out (no post-processing applied):<\/p>\n
