Are single use cameras vintage enough to be cool again?

If you have some scary old film that you need developed, we’ve got you covered!

Aaron and I had a few old disposable cameras available for our friends to use at our Halloween party. We had fun, but it appears as though some of the film was haunted! (Thanks to Aaron for developing this film at Fotolab No.7.)

This 4x6” photograph of a person wearing a skeleton onesie sitting in an outdoor camping chair is overlapped by a surprise image of a closeup skeleton This selfie, taken with an expired disposable camera, documents a couple wearing matching skeleton outfits and odd expressions as they flank a plastic bird skeleton in front of a painting titled Judith Beheading Holofernes. Another selfie, taken with an old disposable camera, documents a couple in skeleton costumes making goofy faces as they pose within a dark dining room.

When’s the last time you had photos printed?

This autumn has been unusually warm in South Dakota, so we took advantage of the not freezing temperature and wheat-pasted a few posters to the Fotolab No.7 building!

Did you see the posters we made for the big window at the lab in downtown Vermillion?

#fotolabno7 #vermillionsd #hifromsd #southdakota
A photograph of a large window in a brick building that houses three vertical posters with tacky tourists posing with cameras under the Fotolab No.7 logo in a cheesy yellow sun. The first poster includes text that reads, “Buy, develop, scan, and print film!” The second poster reads, “We sell disposable cameras!” The last poster features the following text, “Print photos from your phone!”

If you could print posters, what would you design? (The good news is that you can order big prints from Fotolab No.7 the next time you’re in Vermillion, South Dakota.)

Why is it so satisfying to watch Aaron print these big posters? (Did you know that you can order prints of your photos in just about any size at the lab here in Vermillion? The poster-sized prints are the most fun!)

Do you have any fun upcoming plans? You should swing by the lab and pick up a single use camera to document your shenanigans! (We’re located at No. 7 Center St, Vermillion, South Dakota.)

Need batteries for your 35mm film camera? If these are the right kind, stop by Fotolab No.7 in Vermillion, SD so you can get back to taking pictures!

Within a white space strewn with a ribbon of film, a pair of small plastic robot toys serve as models to show off three packages of Duracell 303/357/76 batteries.

What side will you champion in the Ai vs. Analog fight?

Robots can’t make art… But you can… Buy some film and be a photographer!

(See what film and disposable cameras we have at Fotolab No.7 in Vermillion, South Dakota.)

In a world full of Ai slop, there’s only one way to guarantee authenticity:
traditional photography!

What’s the best way to fight against Ai generated images? (Hint: We think it involves using film.)

Within a yellow boxing ring, a Kodak FunSaver camera stands victorious before a blue Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em robot with his head popped up. The red automaton is completely defeated, lying flat on the floor.

Prove that you’re more creative than the average Ai user. Fight back against the robots. Become a photographer.

No one can accuse your art of being generated by robots if you use film! (If you don’t have a camera, that’s not a problem! We have disposable cameras at the lab. Visit us at No. 7 Center St in Vermillion, SD.)

A new Kodak FunSaver single use camera stands at the center of this photograph in its gold and red packaging; it obscures the view of a pair of sparring robots in the background who are out of focus.

Have we peer-pressured you into getting a disposable camera yet?

An out of focus nerd with violet fingernails holds a black plastic single use camera in front of them, which is in focus.

Did you know that you can get photos printed from your phone at Fotolab No.7? If you live in Vermillion, you won’t need to travel to Sioux Falls or Sioux City to get prints!

Does it feel like it’s been millions of years since you last took photographs with real film? We can help! Drop by Fotolab No.7 at No. 7 Center Street in Vermillion for film, developing negatives, digital scans, and photo prints.

A new stack of CineStill 800T film housed in red boxes and wrapped in clear cellophane serves as the base for the photography raptor, his little red ascot, his jaunty hat, and his tiny camera.

I’m tempted to state that we “dig” black and white photography at Fotolab No.7, but I’m afraid you won’t like my bonehead puns.

#believeinfilm #classicphotography #paleontology #fotolabno7
A menacing little triceratops skeleton toy bears its teeth in a sneer as it stands on top of a single magenta box of film, which reads, “Black & White Photographic Film, Arista 400 EDU DX, 135x36.”
