The boxy camera
A camera with one round glass eye waits in the corner, ready for the next picture of the day.
The open book
A book rests open by the booth, with room on the page for one more line about you.
The first-day photo
The booth keeps a print of the person you were when you arrived. They are still smiling.
The little flash
A sparkle winks from the corner of the camera. Flash is warming up for the next picture.
