I was sorting through the box of old photos looking for inspiration for Storytelling Sunday and I came across these:
And it really made me smile because I can so clearly remember how much I loved going into photo booths when I was little. I wasn't often allowed in alone so the middle strip is a bit of a speciality! When I was growing up, we would always go on holiday with my Aunt and Uncle and my two cousins and the lady in the first strip here is my Auntie Babs. I suspect that on this occasion everyone else ignored my pleas to go into the booth 'just one more time'. I really was a Daddy's girl and the strip on the right is a rarity as I must have really pestered him as he HATED having his photo taken and going in a photo booth would have been bottom of his list of things he wanted to do! I really love the memories that these three silly strips of photos have brought back to me.
Storytelling Sunday. The perfect opportunity for a trip down memory lane.

I love those old strip photos as well....and wish I'd kept more old ones.
What lovely memories :)
What a great idea to look through your old photo's and how wonderful that you still have them to show us. Thank you :)
I agree with Miriam..a great idea to look through old pics- my problem is that they are in my mum's house in Scotland..not exactly handy! Great memories Deb!

Ooh, I'm more than a little envious! I always loved the idea of photobooth photos when I wa slittle and we never allowed to have a go! When I was a teenager I managed it once with my own money - and you have now given me the idea of jumping into one with TSO tomorrow when we go shopping for eggs. I think these photos are priceless - I love them!
You can tell you loved it - what a little ham for the camera!
You certainly look like you enjoyed having those photos taken! I remember seeing photo booths when I was younger but we were never allowed to go in one. I am just a little envious :-)
u look very dolled up for ur photo op,

Brilliant photos and i'm too in photobooth envy - we were never allowed.
What a treasure! I have no find memories of photo booths at all ~ I always looked hideous!
Yes photobooths were so exciting - especially the aniticpation as you waited for them to dry before you could take them!
Lovely story and photos - how precious to have the ones with your Dad especially. TFS!
There is always something especially atmospheric about photobooth photos - these are lovely! And I had to do a double-take when I fist glanced - because Auntie Babs looks a lot like a great aunt of mine!

I used to love the photo booth growing up to...in Hereford, ours was in Woolworths, right next to the Pick'n'mix!!! Everything a pre-pubescent girl could want for a Saturday afternoons entertainment!! As a teen, we used to squeeze as many people in as we could...& then get thrown out by the management!! Oh mis-spent youth!!! Thanks for the memory!! :D
My daughter loves photo booths - they tend to have them at movie theaters around here.
