Nostalgia meets modern-day. I attended the fair this summer and was fascinated by the photo booths, intrigued as to why they are so popular in an era of smartphones and selfies. These refurbished, iconic booths from the '60s and '70s, now equipped with digital cameras, were flooded with families, teens, couples, and groups of friends. But why the popularity? Could it be about carrying on family traditions, creating a cherished memento or capturing a moment in time in a unique way? These booths offered an anachronistic break from a society obsessed with social media and the constant need for validation. The diverse appeal of photo booths across myriad demographics is a testament to their timeless nature.
