Disposable Camera

Disposable Camera is the little sister zine to I am a Camera. I write it in one day, on a typewriter, without making any plans for how I will write it. I choose a certain number of pages to fill and roll them into the typewriter one by one.

Disposable Camera #14, Night Drive.

A memory and a dream woven together in the present moment. Nighttime highway atmospherics.

Disposable Camera #13, Koala.

Memory objects and koalas real, artificial and imagined.

Disposable Camera #12, The Melbourne Issue.

In the centre of this zine is a large A3 map in which I try to document everything that has happened to me in Melbourne over 15 years and at least 25 visits. The story surrounding the map is from my most recent visit there, in which I wander around North Fitzroy at night and stand in the street listening to other peoples’ parties.
