I love traditional photo booths, the proper black and white, four-photos-per-strip ones. None of this new-fangled digital rubbish with a logo printed on the bottom, I want to be able to hear the cogs whirring and the chemicals developing.
It's a shame, because unlike in Berlin where numerous Photoautomat booths sit happily on street corners in various areas of the city, in London they tend to be located in hipster hangouts. Rough Trade, Concrete (where we had these snapped after a Pizza East meal- it's in their basement, near the loos!) and Cargo all house an old-skool booth, but sometimes I don't fancy fighting my way through the East London locals to purchase some of those perfect little strips of fun.
Also, in other news, I found more swans! The car-booting is finally paying off in my hunt. These are slightly smaller but will look lovely holding a small collection of blooms and were £3 for the pair. If you missed my last post about them, I'm trawling second-hand haunts to decorate our wedding venue and ceramic swans are at the top of my list.
P.S. If your wages are burning a hole in your purse, then I'm selling some things on eBay here! All the funds are being added to our wedding pot so if you're in the market for a leather bag, a genuine Barbour or a bottle of Diptyque Philosykos perfume, then come take a look!





Awww the pictures are really cute!!

I absolutely live your deer collection, its much nicer than mone! xo
ReplyDeleteI love strip photobooth pics too - the ones where there are four in a square just aren't the same. I'm hoping to go to Berlin for the first time soon so I'll have to look out for the booths! x
ReplyDeleteYour fawn collection is quite impressive!

There used to be a photobooth like that in Lime Street station when I was a teenager, I used to love it. But then they got rid of it in the refurb, boooo :(
ReplyDeleteWow I love your collection of fawns and your Russian doll, the photos are so cool. I wish we could found the old style ones, I don't think there are any in London I ail have to hunt one down. Love this post xx
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, Berlin is awesome for photo booths, my friend and I had a whale of a time when we went.. I don't fancy battling past the Dalston hipsters either frankly! Love all your knick knacks! xx
ReplyDeleteI have never tried an actual photo booth but I'd love to, they look like so much fun. I am desperate to get my hands on a Barbour, I will be bidding on that!

I havent been in a proper photo booth in ages. Sometimes they have one at our local fair but its a new digital type version. so lame
ReplyDeleteI wish all cities could be like Berlin, photobooth-wise. These are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree about having to fight through East Londonites, but there's one at the end of my street (just outside Netil House, Broadway Market) that's so unloved :-( no-one ever uses it! Give it some love! x IG.
ReplyDeleteoh my! Thank you for this IG! I wasn't sure if it was still there, I'll take a trip this weekend :D x
