Without Buying Disposable Cameras
 |
| Huntington Beach, California |
In my search, I came across two methods: one, use the flash on your regular camera and download Adobe Lightroom presets that mimic the disposable camera look, or two, simply use a disposable camera. I did not like these options.
Since Instagram stalks me, it was only a few short days before I saw a video on my "for you" page, promoting a company, called DispoStudio, that takes recycled disposable cameras, removes the lens, and 3-D prints them into DSLR and mirrorless camera lens covers. I immediately bought the one compatible with my Sony a6300. The real test was seeing if a lens alone would produce the same disposable look without needing the rest of the camera—and it seemed to pass the test. An affordable, quality option crossed my desk thanks to the power of invasive tracking and stealing my data.

While I didn't got a clear answer, I did suffer through many trials, tribulations, and inner turmoil to get it looking right. Something I still have nightmares about is when my roommate told me that gallery walls are not intended to be symmetrical—she said this after I had literally spent an hour measuring and taping off where all of the frames should go, with perfect symmetry.
Ripping the tape off the wall and questioning my life choices had me thinking, why don't I just use Photoshop to plan this out? By photoshopping them, I could ensure that every print would look cohesive with one another. Nailing frames into the wall without error is not a skill I offer advice on, as I managed to hammer a nail into the wall that will not come out—and then put a dent in the wall trying to get it out…so I don't have any helpful advice other than to try and cover mistake holes with your frames.
Would I do a gallery wall again? Probably, but next time I'll find some man to hang the frames for me (the only way you'll catch me downloading Hinge again).

One day you are just an employed girl working in graphic design or marketing, and then the next day you get fired and become unemployed in the shittiest economy known to man. You also just moved into a new apartment and have no furniture…fuck. Good thing you have this article because we did not. Here are the ways that we were able to furnish our apartment at no cost.
1.
Craigslist
2.
"Buy Nothing" Groups
3.
Facebook Marketplace

We only found a couple of good items on this platform but it's still worth mentioning. Looking past the annoying Candy Crush ads and flaky sellers, you can find some high quality pieces if you're tenacious enough. As with all the methods listed, the key is to say you will pick up the item NOW. This means drop everything, stop eating mid-meal, and end that Zoom call early because this is obviously more important.
