Now I know that these old photo machines are still around here and there—K-Mart, arcades, and even as rentals for teen parties—but back in my day they served a difference purpose other than just goofy entertainment.
Do you youngsters realize that before the fabulous digital camera age–you know, where you point and shoot and then just delete the ugly stuff–these little booths were really the only places that the common folk could get a picture taken and take it home right now. No waiting for a week or so to have them developed and hoping for the best. Of course they came in that funky strip but it was wonderfully fast so you just learned to take the good with the…
not so good.
Obviously.
