Photo Booth Innards

When I was a kid I spent a lot of time in the the Photo Booth at the Woolworth's store in Lachine indulging my narcissistic tendencies. My friends and I would pop a quarter in the slot and wait anxiously for the strip of photos to pop out so we could criticize/laugh/tear them up.

Here is a video of the inner workings of a vintage black and white photobooth in real time. See much more at this wonderful resource: photobooth.net



Here's one of me in a booth when I was about 14 years old, complete with white lipstick. I still have many more of these in a box somewhere.

    I like the picture more than I like the film in fact :-)

    Looking at it makes me feel ancient.
