In this episode I shoot images with one of the best selling cameras of all time: the Kodak Instamatic! I talk about the history of the 126 format introduced by Kodak, talking about the advantages of the format, the type of cameras made for 126, and the two cartridges of expired 126 film I shot and the images they produced.
I also give some shoutouts to the On The Streets Photography podcast, Antony's wonderful @myinstantimages Instagram feed and Dave's The Old Camera Guy channel on YouTube.
