As a small boy I was captivated the very first time I had my picture taken in a photobooth. It was 1973, in a Woolworth store in Butte, Montana, and at age 6 I could not have possibly imagined the role this experience would play in my life. I now realize I am not the only person with fond photobooth memories. Just take a close look at any family picture album and you will find these iconic picture strips. These pictures have not only made a contribution to the history of photography, Americana and pop culture but also the practical business of identification photos. No matter how these machines have been used in the past it is my belief that photobooths today provide even more. In today’s lighting fast world a genuine photobooth not only provides you the opportunity to slow down long enough to take your own picture, but it gives you a keepsake as well.

In 2003 I began distributing and marketing the Model 12 digital photobooth. I formed the APA, America’s Photobooth Association, in 2004 in order to support customers who purchased the Model 12. The Model 12 was and is a different photobooth. My challenge was and is to attract the finest operators who can share what the Model 12 stands for. Since those early days of a few, the modest APA has grown and matured. Our footprint has spread beyond the USA and now includes, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and England. In the first quarter of 2010 we will beadding Poland, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and a major partnerinSouth America.

It is almost 2010 and I am proud to announce the launch of Photoworks: InternationalPhotobooth Association. The IPA will continue to build on the established Photoworks brand and customer service. The IPA will not only improve the visibility of our association around the world but also provide more validation for all APA and IPA members.
