Timeless Fun
Happy Tuesday, People.
I came across these undated photo booth images of my great grandparents, Leo and Margaret Lessiack. Anyone who’s ever mugged for the camera in a cramped space behind a privacy curtain knows why they are smiling–it’s a goofy, timeless kind of fun. Photo booths never get old, do they?
Here’s Leo, taken (I’m guessing) in the early 1930’s.
Here’s Margaret. I’m guessing the same timeframe of the early 1930’s. It’s possible that these were attempts at passport photos — the Lessiacks did a lot of traveling due to Leo’s employment with the Hamburg Amerika Line.
And, to illustrate that the fun of a photo booth never goes out of style, here are Moi, my husband, Richard, and our girls, Anna and Grace, back in (I’m guessing here. Nope, I didn’t label. See what happens!? See?!?!) approximately 2001. Everyone is much taller than me now, so doubt we could even fit all four of us in a photo booth. We’ll have to give that a try next time we come across one.

Not all branches are quite so well represented, unfortunately. Thanks for stopping by, Su.

I know that feeling! But I guess it makes me treasure those photos I do have even more. 🙂

Aren’t they? I was delighted to find them. They’re so playful, even though I suspect they were done for an “official” purpose.
