Actual photos yellow with age, and also this was probably taken with a a disposable camera
And the photo of the photo probably has tons of over-the-top noise reduction, as most modern phone cameras do
Probably not disposable. More likely a reusable point and shoot. Disposables weren't that popular, the culture for tech wasn't quite as throwaway as it is today.
Disposables were extremely popular in the 80s and 90s, I’m old, a teenage and 20s me couldn’t afford a point and shoot
Yep, my grandparents would give them to me and my brother when they took us on vacation so we could take pictures.
I mean, i remember as a kid my grand mother ONLY used disposable cameras.
Tangent, it's weird how concert culture/security has changed, I remember she had to throw away her camera to see Paul McCartney.
What are you taaaaalking about there was a time where disposables were king. They were so cheap and easy, great for vacations, parties, grabbing them at the gas station real quick before an event...
They even had waterproof ones, sealed in a clear plastic box. I always used to grab one before we'd go snorkeling.
Oh yeah I forgot about those!
Seriously. We'd use the family point n shoot for "important" things like family pictures, or vacations. Everything else was a Kodak disposable.
No shit bought shit ton of them back in the late 90's early 2000's.
