OK - this is me coping with being distressed about what happened with the latest episode of Supernatural, "Abandon All Hope." I'm avoiding thinking about the big stuff, so I'm obsessing about little things. (Yes, I'm that sad and pathetic and can't just rewatch without preparing for it. Please be a little gentle when poking fun at me for being serious about this. I am grasping at straws.)
Here are a few screencaps from the episode. I want to know if there is information or any connotations you can draw from the use of this camera? It's old and Japanese, right? And would require a darkroom or processing lab to develop the photo?
 
 
Oh, and by the way? Icine's webpage title reminds me of the ep whenever I'm looking at the index page.

I was hoping someone would notice this eventually.  I just think it's funny, but hey, it can totally be about Supernatural, Robin 
An ex of mine had one of these. He was obsessed with it, too, and aluminum-foil lined his first-floor bathroom to make a darkroom. heh. But yeah, definitely, anyone who goes to the trouble of using one of these is also 99% likelihood developing the photos at home.
I don't know what happened in the episode, only what I see in front of me with the screencaps, so I can say only that he seems to be doing it the hard way since it's such a difficult camera to use. Further, but this may have just been production values without any particular thought about it, taking a picture with a flash like that in a dark room is going to result in some very spotlighted portrait results, where clearly the photos we're seeing - the one thrown in the fire - is softly lit from the side, like any professional portrait. Also - and most importantly - you can't set it and forget it, it won't take a decent picture. So, I dunno.

Thanks, Astor. It was a long shot that something would come from my question.
Someone needs to make up a story about how there's this lore about that type camera capturing souls and keeping them safe.

If there was ever a time to make a deal with a crossroads demon...
