Photobooths
Pictures taken in photo booths from all eras.

lonelyboyfabrications: I’ve started a tradition of taking a photobooth picture every year on my birthday, for posterity. This is a survey of the past three years, ages 27, 28, and now 29.
These pictures tell stories to me: I use the same photobooth every year, but the quality changes. At age 27 I was trying to look very Italian American, whatever that means, and the contrast is high, separating it from the two following years. In between the time of the first two pictures, my father passed away. I am a different person in the second picture and I took it knowing that my father’s funeral was the next week. I had a hard kind of happiness that day, like a wincing glint you want to shade your eyes from, and I can see the strain. In the last picture I am tired, which is all I will say right now.
I’m interested in how our lives wear themselves on our bodies, showing where we’ve been and how that makes us who we are, so I’m very glad to have these with me.
