Photo Booths - wheeee!
Found instructions on building a booth. Have you been on instructables? Neat site.
This software would make it really easy, but the cost is $200. Worth it?
Note how you can print 2 strips of 4 photos on a standard 4 x 6 photo paper print. One for you, one for guests.
So, I think you would need:
A PC, junky and old would be ok
A USB web cam (cheap)
A photo printer, ink, and 4x6 paper
Scissors/paper cutter
Rubber cement and markers and a scrapbook for posting/signing

awesome, I knew you could handle this project! I totally think it's worth a small investment... I was thinking of getting James a new camera for his birfday, so if we need a certain type of camera, I could get it. or maybe we could find it on craigslist. If we make a cool photo booth, I bet we could sell it for at least a couple o' hundred bucks to someone on said list of craig.
looks like there might be some open source (=free) software out there, or mac software...
or hey, how about emailing the photoboof dude and seeing if he'll rent it to us for a weekend for a couple o' bucks... he's in SF area, I think...
we could get someone local to build the wooden part, you could concentrate on the pc/software part. I seriously think we could sell (or even rent out) our concoction as a nice little bidness...
I'm in a silly mood today. :-P
realistically, though, it could just be an area with a digital camera on a stand, hooked up to printer - we don't need to go all crazy. but I'll let you make the call on how far to go...
profile on the knot where they had a photo area with polaroid camera and props
