Many Big Names in The Photobooth Scene Will Be There, Signing Autographs, Including Yours Truly.

Deserves a little designy introspection don’t you think?

This edition is in Lausanne, Switzerland. It’s not a convention per se but a large exhibition taking place at the Musée de l’Elysée. With a few young guns like myself participating. The exhibition also includes all the classic images in the photobooth from the famous Surrealist pieces to Warhol’s and everything else outside the box. It is an exhibition of and inspired by the machine so expect paintings, and sculpture as well as photographs. The works i am including are some images from my collection of chemical strips. I am very much looking forward to this get together though a few of my favorite photobooth photographers will unfortunately not able to attend or take part. So i give recognition to Steve “Mixup” Howard and Herman Costa, both amazing and important creators in the field as well as very dear friends. That said, I am excited to see some old compatriots from the photobooth community. Our friends Brian Meacham from Photobooth.net, Anthony and Andrea providing a booth from Chicago’s 312 Photobooth, Nakki Goranin American Photobooth, and of course our dear old friends from the British isle Carol Evans and Siobhan Harris of Photomovette. There will be a catalogue from the show so look out for it. With not much more to add, I’ll see you in the Alps this Feburary.

can honestly say when it comes to design I don’t know very much, but what I do know usually parallels my taste in art and/or style. Though I have seen Beeke’s “Nude Alphabet” before in an old 70′s art magazine I never cared to remember his name allowing me to properly forget about the project. Luckily at the NY Book Fair this year I rediscovered it and learned there was a book made for the series. The local 6 decades books, a bookstore that deals in rare art books, was the venue that was selling it. Thus I was reunited with the designer and font even if I couldn’t afford the $600 publication.

Of Course others did it before and after, the last image is by the fashion photographer Horst P. Horst though the Beeke alphabet is my favorite.
