iPhone Photobooth Fun
One 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.
Of course, just a few months after my youngest is out of diapers comes a nicely designed and incredibly useful iPhone application that makes New York City just that little bit more livable for parents. Even though I don’t need the changing table directory, there’s a ton of useful information about kid-friendly restaurants, outdoor/indoor playgrounds, and even a guide to subway elevators. Too bad the app can’t do anything about uniquely NYC aroma of the subway elevators.
