Do You Remember?? Photo Booths!!

A strip of photos from an album kept by one of my grandfather's cousins. She was born in 1893, so I'll guess that this strip is from the pre-WW1 time period, say 1910 - 1915 (not sure who the photo subject is, likely a friend or classmate).

In this vein, the direct-positive street photos from the early 20th Century that I inherited seem to be holding up as well.

Expert I am not, but the pale dress and the ornate neckpiece certainly looks right for that date to me.
 
There's one in every supermarket around here....
Agreed, not every one maybe, but a lot. Different processes for sure, but the same concept of go in, spin the seat, cheesy grin and wait. Now you get the chance to approve and retake or add silly things like Disney characters. Like the old ones there may be a drunk asleep on the stool.
