In 1925 Siberian immigrant Anatol Josepho had an idea for a curtain-enclosed booth where people could take affordable portraits anonymously and automatically. The photobooth was born. This book presents over 700 photobooth pictures from the last 75 years, a portrait of everyday people and a testament to the ongoing fascination with both the process and the result.

For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces; giving people the opportunity to quickly take inexpensive, quality photos. In the last decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Illustrator, writer and long-time photobooth lover, Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled this movement and the photobooth's fortuitous history in a graphic novel. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she's constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists and fanatics. Fitzgerald explores her own struggle with her relationship to these fleeting machines, while looking to the future.
