A man, his dog and a photobooth in New York City.
In 1943, a well dressed man took several photographs of himself with his large dog in a photobooth located in New York's Grand Central Station. All of the photobooth strips were cut into individual pictures but I have tried to recreate them here based on lighting and the man's clothing. Looking at the different coats he is wearing it appears he and his dog visited the photobooth regularly. Can you imagine trying to get a German Shepherd to sit still in the small space of the booth? These photos reveal to us not only a beloved animal but a whole relationship - and these two make a handsome pair!

The photo of the dog wearing glasses and smoking a pipe has been my phone cover for about a year. I always wondered if there were more out there. I was overjoyed to see these! In my opinion the best photobooth image ever created. I wonder if he ever realized that his quarter photos would turn out to be works of art. Thanks for sharing!
