My Summer Through the (Very Tight) Lens of the Ilford XP2 Disposable Camera

I lost two 36-exposure rolls of film this summer because I can’t load a camera properly. Some truly great moments, gone, due to my own carelessness.

After being told for the 2nd time that I had given the camera shop a roll of blank film to develop, I decided to go the disposable camera route for my last few adventures of summer: a trip to the Wind River Range in Wyoming, and a climb of the Diamond face on Longs Peak in Colorado.
