      If my memory is correct, you get about a roughly a film roll of pictures on the camera cartridge's memory. Many people suggest getting a newer backlit screen replacement so that you can see the Gameboy camera output at more angles so that it's not so hard to work with. Lots of content exists online about modding the Gameboy camera, getting the pictures off the cart storage and even things like adapting camera lenses. Color images are somewhat possible by way of trichrome photography techniques.

    Any camera from any time period that allows you to control at least one variable (aperture, focus, shutter speed, ISO) can produce beautiful images. Consumers eschew control, rolling the dice on Auto. We are now learning that the aughts consumer cameras can be gold in an actual photographer's hands. A Stradivarius makes terrible music if you can't play. For those who needed their camera to do all the thinking, the iPhone was their unforeseen future promised land.

  • @kevinscotton
    @kevinscotton 9 днів тому

    About 5:30 in to the video and I have some thoughts (that are potentially answered later in the video): I don’t think everything needs to be so finite. If you do another 365 project in the future, if you don’t, that answer doesn’t really matter. What I will say is that it sounds like you’re lacking purpose. Why do another year long project? It’s worth finding a reason to keep doing them, a project that uses the repetitive every day imagery to its advantage. Brainstorming on subject matter for such a project sounds like a worth while investment of time to me, in your specific case. There’s obviously something inspiring for you about the timeliness of it. Another feeling I get from the video is that you’re ready for subject matter that’s bigger than yourself (and there’s definitely some projecting from me there). Ask yourself about your passions outside of photography. What can you create that changes things? What would make you want to photograph 365 days in a row? (Edit) Also worth mentioning, you may never find those answers, and that’s okay too. Even just thinking about your own answers offers guidance. My favorite projects are those convoluted and confused bodies of work that the artist doesn’t fully understand anyways. That connects with my experience of life.

    • @doublenegative4real
      @doublenegative4real 9 днів тому

      I'm not lacking purpose at all, it's more that the constraints of a 365 Project just don't really work for me anymore. I like the marking of time of 365 Project, which is why I keep coming back to it, but I think I need to expand on the "time" aspect instead of just doing this same format over and over. Honestly, I don't really care if subject matter is bigger than me or not. In fact, I probably am even more interested in subject matter that is small. I think a lot of photographers fall into a trap of looking to large concepts when really that gets too mushy and uninteresting. I'm more interested in finding something with some punch or something more observational even. I've got a lot of ideas I've been working on that I will feature on this channel throughout the year, I'm just looking forward to the end of the low hum of this 365 project that takes up a little too much bandwidth for what it's worth.

    The thing is ALL Polaroid cameras need this Update. I have a Polaroid Go gen 2 and this thing is literally unusable. When I am shooting outside without flash or inside with flash every photo comes out super overexposed and washed out. When deactivating flash inside the light is not enough to expose the film properly. I really like Polaroid because of the way their Photos can look. I want them to succeed but at this point I cant recommend this camera to anybody. It simply does not work. I think Polaroid should fix this Issue quick because small format instant cameras can be the entry drug (at least for me) to instant photography. My next bigger camera will be an Instax square although I would like to buy a Polaroid now+
