This summer I visited New York City for the first time ever. As someone who was obsessed with reality tv and fashion, I have always dreamed about going to New York City and luckily enough for me my boyfriend moved there after college! I only had a weekend to spend here since I was interning in Washington, D.C. Monday through Friday. I bought a super cheap bus ticket and embarked on a 6 hour bus ride. I’ve braved several Serbian busses traveling on unmarked roads so I wasn’t too stressed about this one.
For my inaugural trip to the city, I really wanted to be as touristy as possible (without buying an I ❤️ New York shirt) and I wanted to capture it all using a disposable camera. And YES, they still sell disposable cameras and you can get the film developed at CVS or Walgreens.
We started out our next day with a trip to the beach. The Airbnb we stayed at was in Coney Island just a few blocks from the beach and had an amazing view of the city. Coney Island definitely isn’t a pristine resort town but it’s great for a getaway from all of the hustle and bustle in the city. I love using Airbnb when I travel because you get to pretend that you’re a local for a few days. (For $40 off your first Airbnb purchase click here).
As I’m writing this I’m getting ready to go to New York again for a week before flying to Paris! Let me know if you have any coffee shop recommendations in NYC before may tastebuds are spoiled from drinking fancy European coffee everyday 🙂
XOXO,

I love disposable cameras!! They are actually the reason why I decided to love photography. I have since upgraded, but will always cherish my photos taken on one. I hope one day I can visit New York, it looks amazing!

I absolutely love the vintage look the disposable camera gave your photos of New York. It makes me feel like we’re back in the 90s travelling around the States.
Great post! x

what kind of disposable camera did you use? I love taking pictures on film and waiting to see how they turn out.

Great read. You can save your picture for a lifetime after capturing them from the disposable camera. Love your photography.

So fun! What a great way to get a new perspective on the city rather than whipping out your phone all of the time to take photos!

What a great idea! I found an old disposable camera that I had forgotten to get developed. Once we had the pictures they were so much fun to look at.
