Photo Booth Tom Sierchio

Every picture tells a story."PHOTO BOOTH" is a anthology of 18 fictional short stories based on 18 vintage photo booth pictures. The narratives are told in both first and third person and are presented in a range of different writing styles. The photo subjects-introduced at the beginning of each chapter-span from as early as the 1920s up to the mid 1970s. Some are whimsical tales, while others tell a grittier side of life. There is an inherent intimacy and, ultimately, a loneliness to the photo booths of old. But, at the same time, an honesty. Many of these photos are personal in nature, showing exactly who these people are, unable to lie to the unseen lensman.
