Photo Booth

I just finished reading American Photobooth by Nakki Goranin. It was pretty interesting. Now I'll have to go home and dig out my one and only photobooth photo from when I was a kid. I can't say that I recall ever using a photobooth during my teenage years. I had my own camera since I was about twelve years old so the idea of a photobooth never came up at least not that I remember.

There was one at the wedding reception in March and that is what got me thinking about it. I had loads of fun taking photos in that thing and taking photos of people taking photos in it. I probably ruined more than a few people's photos by firing my flash at the same time that they were taking their photos. Oh well. ;-)

I ran across a book by Michael Eastman the other day and there were a couple of photos from St. Louis that caught my eye. So as a result of that inspiration here is a photo of a building that I saw in the book and that I have been meaning to photograph for a while now (I pass it nearly every day). I have also included a link to a video interview with Mr. Eastman.
