All stories about "Photobooths"

Everyone loves an old-style "dip and dunk" photobooth, but perhaps no one as much as Los Angeles-based Brian Meacham, co-curator of Photobooth.net, which has since 2005 been a comprehensive online repository for all things photoboothish. With an active blog, a locator that lists nearly 250 photobooths in more than 25 states, a gallery comprised of photobooth images uploaded by users all over the planet, a catalog of photobooths featured in movies and television, and much more, the site is a heartfelt homage to old-style photochemical photobooths. Brian and cofounder Tim Garrett encourage contributions, especially those that help to document photobooths in bars, restaurants, and amusement parks around the country. Here are Brian's six favorite old-style Los Angeles photobooths. Check 'em out, say cheese, and submit your strip to their site.

The most common souvenirs from a night of boozing are horrible hangovers, stale odors, and poorly chosen sex partners. Visiting a bar with a photobooth enables you to document the occasion. Besides unexpected cash, drugs, or the phone number of a quality hottie, photos are probably the best item to find in your pocket after an evening out on the town, since they can help you recollect even the haziest of memories. With this in mind, we've gone through Time Out's recent list of the best photobooths in New York and pulled out the places where you can not only get snapshots, but shots of liquor too.

In our ever-connected, over-exposed world of Youtube, celebrity crotch shots and drunken hamburger feasts, we sometimes have conflicting emotions - a nostalgia for simpler photographic times and burning envy of celebrity fame and fortune (that's right - no underwear tonight!) Enter the world of nightlife retro-chic - bars with photobooths to capture all your personal debauchery without that automatic link to the internets (well, not usually.) Classic black-and-white shots with your ten most-bestest friends are not only a memento for a wild night out, but confirm that yes, at some point in the evening you were wearing pants.
