Handmade glass products, a specialty of Otaru, Hokkaido! Introducing the best dragonfly ball making experience for Otaru souvenirs!

Activity Japan Hello everyone! I'm Caolin, who has been re-booming film cameras for the past few days. I used to use disposable cameras when I was in elementary school, and film single-lens reflex cameras when I was in junior high and high school, but I haven't used them since the times changed to digital cameras. It would be fun to take pictures of the city with a casual feeling, triggered by the recent acquisition of a disposable camera! It's been a while since I've had the excitement of receiving photos developed and printed at a photo shop. It may be good for people who are tired of Instagram. Lol The point is to release the shutter as you like. Please take your film camera with you when you go out or travel.
