Someone is having fun, and doing so while creating content which is interesting, eye catching, nostalgic, imaginative, and visually appealing. They’re humbly asking if anyone has suggestions for improvement, and you suggest they destroy the vintage equipment that inspires them?
You should totally rethink your relationship with art. A series of modern gameboy photographs would be an incredible project
That doesn't change the fact that there's pretty much no way to improve the quality of Gameboy shots. I'd personally have more fun doing the purposed deconstruction of the device on canvas. At least I'd have some influence on the result, which tickles my creative spot while the output of toy cameras will be of predictably shitty quality but lacking reasonable ways to improve the output. You can't even enlarge and cut out or meddle wit exposure or contrast. The fixed, poststamp like format also doesn't leave you any room for composition. If you want to get creative with antique technology and for no budget, for fucks sake get an old analog camera and darkroom gear. You can get pro equipment second hand that once was eyewatering expensive and you'll never get bored with for small money.
You are passionate about photography, no? How can the mind of an artist produce such an inflexible condemnation as this? It’s remarkable to me
There’s a thousand different projects you could make with a toy camera. Googling for one second reveals a small community of enthusiasts for it, with videos and guides to accomplish the very thing you proclaim is impossible (improvement in general). Other people in this very post are brainstorming happily.
Should nobody ride trains because cars give you more control over your destination?
I have not "condemnated" anything. I just pointed out that it might not worth trying to get result worth the effort out of a piece of way too limited hartdware. If you can't find the ironical hybris in an idea like smashing a camera on a glued canvas to get a nice pic out of it then don't blame me for ""not allowing fun* and give a try to self-reflection instead of self-importantness. Moralist fanatism is the arch enemy of artistic liberty.
You have in fact condemned the project repeatedly and emphatically. But good, I’m glad you finally feel some need to walk it back.
Randomly trying to play the victim out of nowhere is laughable, however. Sober up before your next attempt to save face
