The disposable camera

After residency it was cheaper to waste a day in Portland than it was to fly back to Fairbanks--like 25,000 air miles or $500 cheaper. It also allowed more time to hang out with the good friends I've met through my low-residency MFA in Writing program at Pacific University. And I secretly love Portland and have this imaginary day-dream life where I actually live in Portland, not Alaska. 

Anyway, my friend gave me this 35mm disposable camera. She bought a case of them from eBay and hands them out as party favors for people that come to her apartment (actually it's a house's basement). But I wasn't inspired enough to shoot the entire roll in Oregon, so the last few shots were taken in Alaska. 

Oh, these top two photographs were obviously taken with another camera.
