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.

A quick strip of photobooth photos after a trip to the cinema to see The Spice Girls‘ movie Spice World. I guess it was the only film we could all agree to see, as I was never a fan of that group.
This strip is part of the series Photobooth 41 Year Project. You can see all the posts that document the series by clicking here.

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.
I recently wrote a post about a party for my friend Marie-Louise, that I was excited to be going to. One of my readers recognised her as an actor, so I have decided to show you this more recent, professional photo. It comes from her profile at the agency that represents her.
Her full name is Marie-Louise Walker and her IMDb page is here.
Still stunning Mar-Lou!
This is the original photobooth photo of my fabulously gorgeous friend, that I posted on 7 December. It was taken in a Melbourne photobooth in 1996.
After reading the post 365 Days, 52 Weeks from WordPress’s own blog, I felt inspired to get back to
my personal chronology of booth photos, which was the inspiration for my starting this blog in 2011. I will endeavour to add at least one strip of photos from the series each week for the 52 weeks of 2013. So with that in mind, I start the year with the next in the series, below.
Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2013 is inspirational and fun for us all.

This strip was taken at a Melbourne train station, after I had been to visit my friend Liarne. I went to stay with her at a house she was renting at the seaside town of Torquay, where she still lives.
This strip is part of the series Photobooth 41 Year Project. You can see all the posts that document the series by clicking here.
Through this blog I have come across other photobooth enthusiasts who share their photos online.
Meg from Denver, Colorado lives in France. At her blog De Quelle Planète Est-Tu? (What planet are you from?) she blogs about her travels and her life in Paris. She is very fond of automatic photo machines.
Below is a selection of some of the great photos from her archive of photobooth related posts, which you can see in full by clicking here.
Many thanks to Meg for permission to share these.
Due to my health problems it is many months since I ventured out at night. The ramifications of pushing myself to stay up are just too hard to endure with any frequency. But this lady is lovely Read More

Unidentified lady in 1950s photobooth strip from Germany. It was listed as Stripe of Young Woman, which is appropriate given the visual effect of the backdrop curtain.
