I bought this as a German drivers license but it is actually a monthly rail pass. As it was very cheap and collected solely for the photobooth Read More

Leicester Station Found Photo
Leicester Railway Station, 16 June 2002
I found this strip of photos on my way to work when I lived in Leicstershire in the East Midlands in the UK. A friend who was looking through my collection recently, commented that he appears to be very professionally posed before the camera. He does have the knack of presenting himself in a dramatic and interesting way. Could he be a local actor, used to striking a pose without a mirror?
Having turned out of well, I imagine that the photos took too long to process and that the sitter was forced to leave the strip due to the imminent arrival of his train.
This is a standard sized strip of colour photobooth photos which measures 41 x 97 mm.
Merry Christmas to All
Thanks to everyone who supported my blog through what was a lean year for posts due to my ill health. Hope is on the horizon for an improvement in, if not a cure for my condition. Next year will be an exciting one, I'm sure.
New Southgate Found Photo – 21 January 2004
This photo was found by my cousin Krissie at a Homebase store in New Southgate, London. She picked it up at 6.30 pm on 21 January 2004, exactly 9 years ago today.
Over the years Krissie has given me many booth photos that she has found including a set that she found floating in a river. Thanks Cuz!
Black and White – 21 November 1997
21 November 1997, Luna Park, Melbourne
Rather than not include the many photos I have with people with whom I am no longer in touch and who I feel may be sensitive, I have decided to pixelate some faces. I wish to stay true to making this blog a document of the complete series by including all the photos, but without causing any offence.
For those of you who are new here, I took my first photobooth photo in 1973 at the age of 11 and have been continuing the series, on and off, since then. Read more about this project here, or click on the link above, Photobooth 41 Year Project.

Saddam Era Military Identity Card – A Celebration of Movember
I bought this item under the title Original Saddam Era Military Identity Card From Iraq. Not being able to read the arabic script, there is no easy way for me to ascertain whether that statement is true. Regardless of its authenticity, it is an unusual item that shows the wide international usage and popularlity of the photobooth.
The fact that the gent in the booth is sporting a fabulous tache also makes for a great means of celebrating and promoting Movember. This charity fundraising event started its meteoric rise to international acclaim in a pub in Adelaide, South Australia in 1999. So you Mo Bros out there, how is yours growing and which charity are you supporting this year?
