The final day of the convention started off with a talk by Jen and Marco about their Photobooth Technicians Project followed by a Q&A. Then we were off to see a slate of photobooth-centric films at Anthology Film Archives. The team at Photobooth.net had to get back to their families and were not able to join the final event of the convention, a boat cruise around NYC. Another convention comes to a close.

The convention rolled on with a busy and energizing day on Saturday, including a trip to the Classic Photobooth warehouse in New Jersey, time in the booths at AUTOPHOTO, and an evening at Union Pool with talks by Tim and Emily and a performance by Hercusleaze.

The International Photobooth Convention got into full swing today with talks at Carmelo’s Bar in Brooklyn, the opening of Autophoto’s space on Orchard Street with special guests and presentations, and long lines of excited attendees looking to try out a variety of photobooths.

The day is finally here! The convention kicked off with a mixer this evening at Lou’s Athletic Club in Brooklyn. Swag bags were distributed and merriment ensued.

As many in the photobooth community converge on New York City for the 2025 International Photobooth Convention, which begins tomorrow, we have a raft of location updates posted in the Photobooth Directory, demonstrating the ongoing health of the international analog photobooth community. Cheers, everyone! A quick rundown: 

First, two booths in Gilbert, Arizona, contributed by Hallie, one of which produces the quite uncommon three-photo strip, at Barnone:



And across the street at Beer Barn:



Thanks to Claudia, we have a new listing for Netil House in London, once again home to an analog booth:

Thanks to repeat contributors Olivia and Spenser for providing us with info and photos from the booth at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge, a Booth by Bryant machine located on the 18th floor of the Moxy Hotel.



Thanks, as ever, to our many contributors the world over, and for those of you coming to New York for the convention, we’ll see you soon!

One of the downsides to running a website for 20 years is that you sometimes outlive an underlying technology the site is built on. At two different times over the last two decades, the software Photobooth.net used to power our photobooth discussion forum either went out of business or stopped being maintained. 

At long last, the forum is now back online, with yet a new software package doing the heavy lifting. If you previously had an account, you should be able to reclaim it. Just click “Log In” in the top right corner of the main forum page, then click “Forgot Password.” As long as you still have access to the email you used previously, you should be able to reset your password and pick up where you left off.

We realize forum software might have fallen out of favor in this Instagram age, but we think the more permanent nature of a discussion forum helps preserve and transmit knowledge. So enjoy this little time capsule that dates back to 2005, and post away.
