PHOTOBOOTH SHOTS

Photobooths, what's not to love, lately they have been popping up at some very cool parties and even the odd wedding and I love how The Ace Hotel has one in it's lobby. I think the one golden rule with photobooth photos is they must be black and white, colour just doesn't make the cut.

I came across these old shots and thought they were so great I just had to share .....

Andy Warhols photobooth self portraits really did epitomize so many of his works ....  here's a bit of trivia, the second strip was later owned by Robert Mapplethorpe .... 

  Edie Sedgwick hamming it up for Warhol and the photobooth, I love these shots. 

I think this exhibition would have been amazing .....

.... and how great is this photo of Jack and Jackie Kennedy !!!

This is the famous photo booth in the lobby of  The Ace Hotel NY .... no visit is complete without some photobooth pics.

 

 Those were the days !!!

 

The two shots above are my own "vintage"shots (wow the first time I've used myself and vintage in the same sentence !!! ). The first one is me sporting freckles and a very crooked fringe ( I do love that floral dress, very retro) .... the second is of me and my friend Vanessa, we are still friends now, we just have much better hairdressers now that we are grownups ( I'm the one with the bowl cut).

 

This is a great photobooth we found on a recent trip to Melbourne , it was outside Flinders Street Station, needless to say we had to stop and do a few poses !!!

Finally, I think this book would be such a great read ... the photo of the old lady and her dog features in it.

ALICIA MARTIN

I seem to be attracted to book installations at the moment remember this one?  Well these take it one step further ....  streaming book installations by Spanish artist Alicia Martin ,  just breathtaking !!!

Apparently this one consists of over 5000 books .... can you imagine the work involved ?
The pages actually flutter if it is windy .....

 ...... the very talented Alicia Martin inside one of her creations.

I also like this gallery installation .....

all pretty amazing don't you think ???

BROOKLYN FAMILY HOME

I have always had a thing for Brooklyn (even though I haven't actually been there) .... remember here and here. This family brownstone really caught my eye, I think it is just beautiful.
