Thousands Finding the Photo Booth Business a Route to Excellent Full-Time, Part-Time, or Retirement Income
In validation of the old adage “What goes around, comes around,” photo booths are back and are more popular than ever. Originally patented in 1888, the photo booth (aka “automated photography machine”) first gained popularity at penny arcades, amusement parks, and carnivals. To receive your photographic mementos of the moment, you just popped behind the curtain, adjusted the seat, deposited twenty-five cents and smiled! Ten minutes later a strip of eight fairly decent black and white (or sepia) photos would slide out a chute on the side.

That Gray Ring Around Your Shirt Collar has Nothing to do with Hygiene!
Did you fall for the same hook, line and sinker growing up that I fell for?Buckle down, get good grades in high school, go to college so you can land a good job and be set for life. At the time it seemed like great advice from people that truly cared, like your parents or a mentor you trust. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they had your best interest at heart and only wanted you to succeed in life. But here's where the problem starts, there are very few people out there who truly know how to provide career counseling in the 21st Century.

A Funny Thing Happened at The Office Today...
I haven't said this out loud but being a black man in corporate America stinks. I've had the distinct honor of working in offices surrounded by white people for the better part of 15 years.

Fuck It
Fuck it, I'm going to do it. I've never wanted to be a writer, but until I can find more dignified employment, I'll have to be. One has to earn a living somehow; and since the conventional process of prostituting oneself in private doesn't work, all that remains is to prostitute oneself in public, to the public—and I use the word in its literal, Latin sense. Prostituere means to display for sale, and that is what a writer does. He mummifies himself alive, cutting out his own heart and brain and putting them in a jar for the world to see and scrutinise. His profoundest emotions, his most radical convictions, what to the common man are the most private parts of his personality, are all on display. Compared with him, the woman who walks the street with her body for rent is a model of modesty.
