Lost Fun Zone, who has a great Berlin based photography blog called

.documenting.the.obvious

has helped me out by telling me of the mistake I made in naming the Danish percussion duo I saw on this evening in June, 1998. It was the Safri Duo not the Safari Duo.

Thanks Mister Zone from Berlin. I hate making mistakes and appreciate being picked up on them when I do.

Mullet Dude Loves His Look

I laugh every time I look at this strip. Mr Mullet seems very in love with himself. From the deliberate, alternating poses, I think it is his luxuriant face-fuzz that he is out to capture in all its glory.

It is quite surprising that he let go of this set of photos. My guess is he gave them to a girl he fancied and she didn’t value him or the photos enough to keep them.

I am not sure where these photos originated, probably the USA. I’d say from the colours and the type of booth strip the photos were taken in the 1990s.

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!

February 1998, Southland Shopping Centre, Melbourne

Here is my sister Sue, who now lives in Dublin, and me, after a shopping trip to get our nails done and buy cosmetics. Manicures have been very rare in my life, so I am glad I have one commemorated!

This is another Polaroid format photobooth photo. I haven’t seen one of these booths in over 10 years. The little image on the bottom of the Polaroid is from another strip of photobooth stickers from a different outing. I think Sue kept the rest.

This is another photo in my series of photobooth photos that began in 1973 and continues to this day. This is me with Holly. Holly was a lovely friend with whom I lost touch. I miss her.

I recently did a post about Meg from De Quelle Planète Est-Tu? and her love of photobooths. Through her I found another photobooth enthusiast in Paris who has blogged a list and map of locations of booths in that famous city.

The strip, above, is from her post You’re on (not so) Candid Camera! which is where you will find all the details.

Thank you to Sylvia for permission to use her images.
