Photobooth Dogs by Cameron Woo

Written by

For this last post in celebration of Banned Books Week, I want to share a book that comes out today that might inspire you to go to your local bookstore. It’s Photobooth Dogs by Cameron Woo, co-founder and creative director of The Bark. As you can see by these images, selected from Woo’s personal collection, the book is a tribute to dog-love and the Photomaton machine, the “new” 1925 technology we all still love. Photobooth Dogs is also a testament to our impulse to memorialize our dogs or to simply include them in our fun, such as 25-cent experiments that will last a lifetime, and beyond. Thank you, Cameron, for saving these tributes from flea markets and attic boxes and making them into a gem of a book.

All images copyright Cameron Woo, 2010. If you can’t get to a bookstore (as a country girl I have a new perspective on this), you can order it here. I think it would be a lovely Christmas gift.

I wish I’d thought of this. What a charming idea. I may have to start my own private collection!

I just bought my first photobooth strip! It will be a great addition to my growing collection of antique and vintage dog photographs.
