Sure, but you had to change the film or cassette after 36 pictures, but I think there were some cassettes, camera backs, too that you could load with movie film and get a few hundred pictures in one swoop, and you had to change the battery in the motor-drive. I just took a look at my Canon 5DMk2 to see how many pictures I can get on a "roll of memory", but the counter don't go to more than 999.
Throw enough stuff on the wall, sure, I think that is what many of the real young ones do today, close the eyes, push the button and see what the camera happens to catch.
Isn't technology wonderful. Just a pity you have to be there and have a camera, but maybe that changes too. :-)

I'm a young 65. A guy could "Kodak" a moving horse with a view camera but for stop action motor sport shooting when vehicles are going well over 100 mph I need a little more technology. When I'm getting paid the client will not except excuses. I had would use 2 cameras each with 36 frames. Ya know the old saying, if ya throw enough stuff on the wall some of it will stick :-)

Try changing 36 glass plates in one minute :-)
If you wanted really good photos, that is what you had to use.

We simply had to learn to choose the right film, to hit the trigger in exactly the right spit second to with one picture catch the motion, and we became quite good.
When I took photos of a rider and horse flying over a jump in a competition, and you had to take it exactly when the front hooves were right over the bar, plus minus five inches, you only had once chance in a lifetime to get just that photo, and you nearly always did it.
Now we can set up the camera, and ask a 5 year old or a "monkey" to take the picture, with the same result.
This is why photography has degenerated as it has, and why we have to find new ways of making a living with photography.
Just my 5c views.
