description: 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 this movement and the photobooth's fortuitous history in a graphic novel. 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. Fitzgerald explores her own struggle with her relationship to these fleeting machines while looking to the future.
