Love this! What happy, expressive faces and joyful, mischievous smiles!
This looks like a photobooth pic from an earlier time than usually seen. What decade would you guess?
Thanks, Deborah. I'm not sure when this may have been taken. I'll have to check the photobooth books I have to see if there's a way to determine the date. In the meantime, I recently discovered an article on "ping pong photos." These came as strips of photos showing different poses and props but they predate photobooths. I've always grouped them together with the photobooth photos myself (see Woman Posing with Hats and Boy with Bowtie, for instance). The article is "'Ping Pong' Photos: An Introduction, by Patrick Feaster. I found it pretty interesting.
Interesting article, Alan! I'll have to go back to look at the album page I recently posted: "Twins or Tricksters".
Now I suspect that they may all be examples of ping pong photos!
