Scenes from a life less ordinary

On Sundays, my usual routine is to get out of bed, brew some coffee and drink a cup while watching the CBS Sunday Morning Magazine - this Sunday had a peice that was devoted to the 'come back' of photo booths. It seems everything retro is a hot item these days. This piece taked about the book that was compiled of photo booth pictures from Hillhaven Lodge - home of director Brett Ratner (of 'Rush Hour' fame). Mr. Ratner lives in the old mansion once owned by Ingrid Bergman.
He has an old-time photo booth (a really fun idea when you stop and think on it), and at one of his parties, captured photos of the Hollywood elite - thus the book. Definitely some funny, bizarre and really candid shots. I am sure that this book is worth checking out. (MTV has one of photo booth pictures as well.)

While this latest fad of the 'beautiful people' rages on, I thought the more interesting part of this particular report was the woman they talked to who collected 'old' photo booth pictures (from the 30s, 40s, and 50s)and has put together a book of that collection - now THOSE were neat pictures. A fleeting glimpse of days gone by; all captured in black & white.
