Photoboothin' it!: Down-Under...

It is always great to hear from fellow photoboothers.  Maybe it is the mutual appreciation of the old vintage booths, or the knowledge that there are so few of them (and us) left in the world, but the fact remains that those of us still operating and frequenting chemical booths belong to a shrinking niche-- a chemical booth fraternity.  While millions of people in the world can claim to have been in a photobooth at one point in their lives, fewer people are still seeking out and utilizing the booths for their nostalgic, historical, and artistic merits.  The very fact that true-vintage chemical booths are becoming harder and harder to find only increases the dedication.

That is why it is a treat to hear about new works and projects from photobooth nuts around the world. Through the internet and blogosphere, we came across an artist in Australia who is doing some cool things with a photobooth.
