OUR BOOTHS

Our small but might fleet of vintage photobooths, growing any time we are able to track down another vintage booth. Meet our garden!

DUSTY

Named after the Dusty Miller flower, Dusty is a model 21 from 1992.

We adopted her from Oxnard, CA, where she had been living in a defunct Worlworths department store, unused for the last 15-20 years.

She was the third addition to our fleet, but the first operational!

The model 21 is the final model produced by the Autophoto company, which closed it’s doors in 1995, ceasing the production of analog booths. The factory was located in downtown Los Angeles, so we think she feels right at home being back there, and are thrilled for her to live at Philippe’s, an iconic and historic LA institution.

*NOTE: For all of baseball season, these strips say GO DODGERS!

📍LOCATION: Philippe the Original

1001 N Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Hours: 6am-10pm 7 days a week. Parking: Ample parking lots adjacent.

GOLDIE

Marigold, or Goldie, is a reconstruction of a Model 20, originally built in 1972.

She was a fair booth, traveling across California, Nevada, and Arizona state and county fairs for about 40 years. When we adopted her, she had been sitting outside for many years, and her exterior cabinet had completely rotted. We took the entire machine apart and reconstructed a brand-new cabinet using her original measurements, framing, and hardware.

We then refurbished, repaired, and reconstructed every inch of her mechanics and electrical systems. She has a beautiful cast camera from the early 1960s (estimate) that produces stunning pictures with the more rare thin, curved edge frame.

📍LOCATION: The Hunt Vintage

1554 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Hours: 12pm-6pm Tues-Sun (often with later weekend night closing). Parking: Street/meter parking and several paid lots nearby.

NOLA

Our most recent acquisition, Nola, or Magnolia, came to us from New Orleans by way of Atlanta, where she was a color-operating bar booth for many years.

Much like Dusty, she is a similar, curved-edge version of a Model 21, built in 1990.

After a bumpy ride across the country, we gave her some much-needed TLC, taking apart her entire insides and cleaning, reconstructing, and reinstalling them.

She is now up and running at Lore in the historic Leimert Park neighborhood in South Los Angeles.

📍LOCATION: Lore Bookstore Leimert Park

4334 Degnan Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90008

Hours: 9am - 5pm Tues - Sun (with ongoing evening events) Parking: Street meters

POPPY

Marigold’s sister Poppy came to us from the same fair circuit as her twin.

She was rescued in equal disrepair to her counterpart and will be undergoing renovation and a complete remodel this summer.

You can follow along with her rebuild with us on TikTok, where we will be chronicling the journey.

Poppy will be coming to the public in Los Angeles Fall 2026.
