There is something very Mission Impossible about planting a bomb in a photobooth.  Check out the links to photobooth.net (below) to see how photobooths featured in the popular 1960s TV show.

Gabrielle, Photobooth, 14/6/2012

I was thrilled to discover this divine strip of photobooth photos while browsing other wordpress sites. Not only is Gabrielle Delacour, who is the author of the blog and subject of this strip, an afficionado of the booth but a Melbournite to boot. If you browse through her blog you will see a great example of the best of Melbourne style in her lovely retro inspired cossies.

A few words from Gabrielle to finish – I’ve always had my bob. From a young lass with a bowlcut of strawberry blonde to a black, angular cut as a late teen, and now a more sophisticated, sleeker darker brown version. I’ve dabbled in other styles briefly, growing it out just to cut it back once more. Nothing compares to a tapered neck-line, a perfectly shaped fringe and a graduated bob. I so totally agree, Gabrielle!

Photobooth enthusiast and artist Meags Fitzgerald is looking for a publisher for her new book Photobooth A Biography. You may remember my posting another article about this project previously. Does anyone have any contacts that they could pass on?  Read more about her project at her blog, here.

Through Näkki Goranin’s Facebook page, I found Fotoautomatica a photobooth company in Italy. They very kindly sent me this wonderful strip of photobooth photos. You can find their page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/fotoautomatica.firenze. They have posted lots of photo strips from chemical booths and images of many old booths. I am guessing that hiring out photobooths is their business but as I don’t read Italian, I am only guessing.

I am supposed to be off the blog to get my health in order but couldn’t resist telling you about this fun project. Read More

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,300 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 38 trips to carry that many people.

It seems sellers are getting just a little carried away in their pricing of booth photos online. This may be rare, but at this frankly hysterical price, I think his chances of finding a buyer are very slim indeed. Must say though, the audacity of this asking price has its appeal!
