The idea made that it takes a smartphone or a digital camera to take pictures to capture a landscape or any instant time with friends and does not correspond to the truth. At least according to the project Disposable Camera Project, which hides disposable machines – those who bought in the 90s just for taking pictures of vacation – on the streets of several cities and invites those who find experiencing moments that would otherwise go unnoticed .
The idea of Mark Serrano and Mike Yambao came in the winter of 2012, when competed for the Toronto Urban Photography Festival and they were asked to conceive an interactive photography project, ie involving the public.

The two Canadians then spread several disposable machines the streets of Toronto wrapped in plastic and a paper with instructions. Although the reception was not initially expected (perhaps because it is winter), the exhibition of photographs that managed to eventually attract the attention of Nick Hill and Paul Nuestro, who decided to join the project, which has grown to hit the streets of New York, Montreal, Tokyo, London or Amsterdam. Always based on the same purpose:. Are the photographs, taken by different people are responsible for telling the story of those streets to the world
By Observer Mark Serrano said he had no plans to put the machines on Portuguese streets However, nothing is lost. Many cities have them because the inhabitants liked the idea so much they decided to contact one of the four friends and put his hands to work, buying the machines, spreading them around town, and then sending the photos to be placed in the gallery site.
That is, if after seeing the photogallery want much live experience is described only buy a disposable camera, put it in a strategic place and wait to see what people photograph.
