Summary
"For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces, giving people the opportunity to quickly take inexpensive, quality photos. In the last decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Illustrator, writer and long-time photobooth lover, Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled the photobooth's fortuitous history and the events which gave rise to the desperate need to save them. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she's constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists and fanatics. In this ground-breaking book Fitzgerald struggles with her own relationship to these fleeting machines, while looking to the future. Meags Fitzgerald is an illustrator, artist and storyteller. She has a BFA from the Alberta College of Art + Design and a certificate in Design from the Nova Scotia College of Art + Design. Photobooth: A Biography is her first graphic novel."--Provided by publisher.
