Bet you wish you knew where you’d buried that thing. Digging around the backyard isn’t the only way to get a blast from the past. Here’s a quick photo time capsule project inspired by an old camera our pal Adam found a couple years ago. STEP 1: Buy a cheap disposable camera. STEP 2: Take your disposable camera everywhere you go for a week, or on a vacation. Take pictures of all your friends. Fill it up with photos. STEP 3: Write your name, address, phone, email, today’s date, and the words “Photo Time Capsule! Develop me in a few years” on the camera. Sock it in a drawer. STEP 4: Let time pass. Move in and out of relationships, jobs, apartments. Find happiness and live life fully. STEP 5: Rediscover camera in some dusty box, bookshelf, or corner. Develop it. STEP 6: Admire the odd stains and scratches on the photos you get back. Marvel at what your sepia-toned life was once like. Sigh, smile. Adam notes: I like to think that disposable cameras are like wine. The longer you wait to develop them (or drink them) the better they are. We couldn’t agree more.

[...] Photojojo has an interesting article on how to create your own photo time capsule by simply using a disposible camera. The basic idea is to carry a cheap disposible camera with you everywhere you go, and take pictures of friends, locations, etc. When it is filled-up, toss it in a drawer somewhere and let it sit until you discover it some years later. The cool side to this is that letting film sit like this has some interesting side effects to how the film will look some odd years later. [...]
