The Photobooth

There are no words to describe the pure joy photobooths bring me {and no doubt many of you, as well!}  In true Amelie fashion, my up-for-anything boyfriend and I have vowed to always stop if we see one, no matter what! Photobooth by Babette Hines chronicles the cultural icon’s history, and even better, is packed with over 700 shots of spontaneous, romantic, evocative, and utterly gorgeous photos collected from friends and years of flea marketing.  You can also visit Hines’ Los Angeles gallery of collected photographs–what a treat!  For more info, check out thefoundphoto.

Let’s go to the beach

I was recently looking through my stacks of vintage photos and I realized that about half of the them are beach photos. I don’t really know why…I think maybe because people took photos of themselves on vacation in the “old days” and maybe because I’m drawn to them? I love vintage swimsuits in all their itchy, wooly glory!

I do think that my very favorite beach photo of all time is one that I shared when I was guest blogging on {frolic!}…see it here.
