With the likes of Instagram, Flickr and Tumblr, it has become all so very easy and quick to take a picture of just about anything, from that moment you do not want to forget to that meal you are about to demolish, but one thing a new app is bringing to the table to the chance to take a picture of that one thing that is very important to you.
The small print is once you have taken the picture, edited it and added filter just like you would in Instagram, you cannot go back to edit it or anything its done, making it a true one moment picture, that moment is gone you can not recreate it.
One Memento (available on the AppStore) is a new photography experiment designed to capture 250,000 single moments – Participants download a one-shot digital camera from the App Store, giving them one chance to take a single photo for the experiment.
It’s our nod back to when taking a photo meant capturing and creating a lasting memory – from first birthdays to holidays and unique experiences.
Every day 1.3 Million images are uploaded to Instagr.am, 3 Million to Flickr & 250 Million to Facebook. People take so many photos, from anything to everything and each mundane meal in between, it’s like we’ve forgotten the photograph’s ability to create and keep memories.
We created One Memento, our one-shot digital camera, to change this. One Memento allows its users to take and share a single photograph, just once, and then stores it forever.
Once shared, the user’s One Memento can’t be altered. And it can’t be deleted. Forcing users to think before they shoot and share.
To get started, users download their one-shot digital camera and login with Facebook or Twitter. They then shoot, share, filter and comment on their one photo. With each photo is assigned a unique number, allowing users to easily find their One Memento.
It’s available to purchase today from the Apple AppStore

Awesome to read this article..It’s good to have only one memento but sometimes it is not beneficial as once clicked it can’t be deleted nor edited.Â
 @Senior Pictures I see what you mean, however the whole point is to have that one moment that you don’t want to miss, once its done its done hence why you can’t delete or edit.
