Seattle's Photography Culture
Seattle's photo booth culture mirrors its broader commitment to analog technology. The city that kept independent record stores alive through the digital revolution and supports multiple film photography shops treats its photo booths with the same reverence. The Pacific Northwest light — soft, diffused, atmospheric — lends itself perfectly to the classic photochemical aesthetic.
