A little pocket spycam.

File under Photography, Driving and driving and driving - by Susan M @ 8:45 am

I’ve been carrying this thing around in my purse for ages, I kept forgetting I had it. I finally just started snapping random pictures, mostly when I was driving through Santa Ana in the car. Some of them were taken indoors, though, which was a no-no—they’re way too dark.

It’s a 110 film camera. Remember 110 film? Yeah, well it’s hard to find, and even harder to get developed. But I actually managed to pick up several rolls at my local Wal-Mart. And there’s a place in Santa Ana that develops it!

I forgot to include something in the pic for scale. The camera is about 2 inches long.

The first and second exposures overlapped:

The camera is fun because it’s so tiny. The film is too.

  1. Oooo, a spy cam. Soo fun. And I would so love to go around wearing the not toy camera below.

  2. It’s fun to use cameras that people don’t realize are cameras.

  3. I totally remember using those. Great pics as always!

  4. those came out really great. that camera is identicle to my halina aside from the name. it even says “made in hong kong” in the same place. i think 110 works really great with brightly coloured subjects as the grain does some nice things then.
