| Alright, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm addicted to photobooths. There. I've said it. There's just something about an old-fashioned, analog photobooth that I can't resist. Photobooths have a special honesty and funky charm about them. They often get to see the parts of your personality that no one else gets to see, once you close the gray curtain and enter the private realm of...The Photobooth. Oh yes, they know your secrets. They can tell a full story in 4 frames and give you a time-capsuled piece of chemically processed, personal history in an astounding 3.5 minutes. And they listen without complaining, like a wonderful friend or perhaps a living confessional booth. They're happy to watch you act like a weirdo lunatic, pretend to be a rock star, or get kissy with someone you have a crush on. Yet, when you're in a hurry and you need a serious and legitimate photo for a passport and don't have time to mess around, who's there for you? I'll tell ya who. Photobooth, that's who. Here are some of my photobooth pictures. I hope you enjoy them. A very special thank you to my guest artist and male muse, Mr. Jay Maulsby, who is endlessly full of creative cogitation. Also, a travel mug full of indebtedness goes to to my rabbit friend, Johnny, who is not only a dear friend, a damn fine rodent impersonator, but truly an ingenious singer-songwriter. |

| DID YOU KNOW these fascinating facts? The patent for the very first automated photography machine was filed in 1888 by William Pope and Edward Poole of Baltimore, MD. The first known working photographic machine was a product of the French inventor T. E. Enjalbert and was shown at the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. The first automated photographic machine with negative and positive process was invented by Carl Sasse in 1896 in Germany. The modern, curtained photo booth originated with Anatol Josepho (Josephewitz). He arrived in the U.S. from Russia in 1923. and his updated photo booth appeared in 1925 on Broadway in New York City. 8 photos cost 25 cents and took 10 minutes to develop. |
