photobooth!!!

i finally made it by Photobooth, a badass studio just round the corner from me in the mission. like shutterclank!, this studio is all things analog. beautiful exhibits hang on the walls, with lots of cameras, film, and gear for sale. the main reason to stop in, as the name suggests, is to have your portrait shot. the owners of the studio offer sittings for either tintype or polaroid, with completely reasonable prices. even better, its just a fun place to hang out. its both an inspiring and chilled space, with people sitting around enjoying some Pabst Blue Ribbon and lovin' on film. check it out next...
