Who Is That Guy With A Game Boy Camera?

Back in 1998, my parents bought me a Game Boy Camera, which I played with for a bit. Back then, it just seemed like the best thing to have if you had a Game Boy. For a while, it was the smallest and most readily available Digital Camera at the time. It was pretty fascinating to put your face in video games. I took photos of myself and played its mini games, then moved on to other video games as usual.


Some time in 2014, I found my Red-colored Game Boy Camera and then I made some phone calls to some video game stores in the area in order to find a working Game Boy Printer. The one I bought from a seller on Amazon was broken and I didn't start being a Game Boy Camera Photographer earlier (not to mention my personal life). Later that year in September, I took my Game Boy setup to Wasteland Weekend where I just went around offering to take people's photos and then print them on the spot. Since then, I kept going to places and kept taking and printing photos.


In October 2018, I attended the Adult Swim Festival with the Game Boy setup and someone suggested I get on Instagram. My work and family life kept me busy for a while, so I didn't bother with having more Social Media. Personally, I wanted to avoid some habits "Social Media types" are known for and yet, I found the concept of being someone who unloads Game Boy Photos on the Internet pretty cool. After the Adult Swim Festival, I created an Instagram account, followed by Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. 


In the years I've been taking photos with a Game Boy Camera, I would usually take a photo of either the screen or the print from the Printer with my Smart Phone. Making a copy of the print, then having it scanned was also an option. All the photos I've taken eventually made their way onto my Social Media platforms. Rather than take photos of the Game Boy Screen or the print, I now transfer my photos digitally through a device available through Etsy.


In April 2019, I was interviewed by the LATimes.com about my experience for a story on Game Boy's at 30 years old. I was then inspired to conduct a Panel for conventions called "Retro Gaming Today," in which I cover Retro Gaming Relevance. For Comic-Con International, I am apart of a panel called "Bringing Video Games Into Reality".


I have also been inspired by the Fallout games to place sets of Vault Boy Bobbleheads in different cities. Cities so far: San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Wasteland Weekend (2017), and Washington D.C.

Las-New: A Fallout Snow Globe Road Trip (Documentary)
