Cameras at weddings, garage sales

I’ve seen several wedding receptions with preloaded instant cameras on the tables for the guests to use.  This is one way to be sure you have tons of photos and it entertains guests, too.

I was recently at a garage sale and saw a young boy pick up the camera.  He  looked puzzled.  Where’s the screen?  How does this work?  His mother stated “It’s a camera that uses film.” 

If you could have seen the look on his face, you might describe it as “you’ve got to be kidding”.  A short time later he had the camera open and had seen the film for himself.

Sometimes I forget that I take a lot for granted.  Youngsters 3 to 10 may not have ever experienced anything but a digital camera with it’s instant feedback and delete features, or maybe they’ve used the preloaded cameras which can be ordered with cds.  I for one appreciate the convenience of both digital and preloaded cameras.
