About it

An old film camera. Inside, a roll of film coated with chemicals that change when light hits them sits behind the lens. Pressing the button opens a shutter for a split second, the lens lets in a picture of the world, and the film keeps it. Then a lever winds the film on to a fresh frame.

Tap it and the flash bursts, the whole scene whites out for a moment, and you hear the shutter and a stylized whoomph from the flash. Early cameras needed people to sit still for minutes; a modern shutter can open for less than a thousandth of a second.
