iPhone Photobooth Fun

December 4, 2009 - 9:08 pm

MBP-NEW-ITUNES-SHOT-000One of my first memories of being photographed was when my sister and I were crammed into a booth by our dad and blinded by four bright consecutive flashes. Ten minutes later when I regained my sense of sight, I realized that we were standing outside of a strange booth with a curtain. We waited for what seemed like an hour, but was probably just ten minutes for a small and slightly damp strip of photos to be spat from the machine. I remember seeing my older sister smiling brightly above just the top of my head. Dad said I looked great. Sadly, those photobooths are thing of the past (minus the Gallery Bar on the Lower East Side and a few other hipster holdouts). Enter the “Original Mobile Photobooth iPhone App” (v 2.0). It takes four quick pictures and puts them into a classic four panel strip that is easy to share on FB/Twitter/email. You also have the option to make it b/w or color.  Here’s the Mobile Photobooth Website and here’s the iTunes App Store link.

Shantell Martin – Mistress of the Light

October 30, 2009 - 9:25 pm

I had the good fortune of attending one of Shantell Martin’s interactive music and light extravaganzas recently at Soho House.  The talented illustrator used a tablet,  projector, and sketching program to create a unique music and light extravaganza that had the kids jumping. Thanks Shantell! While this performance was for kids, she does a lot of events around town for adults. She’s worth checking out. More pix and videos on her site: Shantell Martin – Illustrator.
