Number 41 on my list of 52 things was to get a goofy photobooth photo taken. You know the ones? Black and white images, silly faces, crammed into a tiny little booth:

On my recent Sydney trip with friends, we spied a photobooth as we were making our way to dinner. After we’d fed the boys up and with the help of my friend Ange, I managed to convince them to join me in a silly group photo. 4 people, one small booth, what could go wrong?

Nothing – the pictures were great!

First C sat down on one side of the stool, while I draped myself over his lap. Ange squashed onto the other side of the stool (lucky she’s a small little thing) while her hubby managed to get away with just poking his head through the curtain. After a bit of confusion (and thus a confused looking first photo), we got into the swing of things and made silly faces for the remaining images. When they finally printed out I was so thrilled, and it made for an excellent keepsake. I had a lot of fun doing it, and if I ever see another one I’m definitely going to convince my company at the time to join in with me for some silly pictures!

To protect the privacy of my mates I’m not going to post the pictures here, so instead enjoy the following set I found on flickr, available on Osmium’s photostream.
