Transcript

Alright, let's get some photobooth pictures on the lower east side. We are here at the International Center of Photography on Ludlow Street. It's there as soon as you walk in, you just tell the security guard you're taking pictures. It is $7 for a strip of black and white photos. It lets you take four photos, but they don't give you a countdown or anything. So the first picture was super off guard. Just be ready as soon as you pay. Also the third picture came out blank, but nobody else that I've seen has this problem. I think it's just me. Definitely something cute for the kids. I got my new profile picture.
