Photobooths

Photobooth images from Babette Hines' "Photobooth" are now on display until September 12 at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts. This NY Times article has a brief history of the photobooth, more about the Griffin's photobooth exhibit, as well as the Zabriskie Gallery exhibit by Tomoko Sawaka who's "ID-400" series confronts you with 1,600 pics of Ms. Sawaka in various disguises. (NY Times story requires free registration.)
