We most often view photobooth strips without any additional information to help us paint a picture--no words and often times with no knowledge of the subject's whereabouts or attitudes at the particular moment. By adding the names and words of the subjects, these strips have become a direct historical (albeit, admittedly wholly unscientific) account of the drinkers at a particular bar in Austin on a particular night. The words themselves add an element of connection to the individuals while at the same time giving an interesting cross section of a greater unknown population.
Hope to see more as this project develops and evolves...
