Unfortunately I am unable to find the article online. I'm not 100% sure but I think these are the folks described in the article: http://www.312photobooth.com/ I'm not posting as a commercial endorsement; I don't know them nor have used their services. But as someone who likes old technology...especially old stuff that seemed futuristic at the time* all I can say is that I appreciate those who keep such things going. * yeah and if you can find me a late 1960's Western Electric / AT&T / Bell System PicturePhone drop me a line at screen@spamblock filmteknik.com LOL The Chicago Reader (our indie paper…it’s where we read Savage Love) recently carried a nice article about photo booths…meaning the vintage, photo chemical ones…and this couple that collects, refurbishes, and rents them.

I also like to (after getting at least one real strip) use my normal camera to take fake photobooth pictures after. like so: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2644517297_2fbc72cb9f.jpg?v=1215412231 if you get 4 of them its pretty easy to use photoshop to make a strip out of them.
