Aaron Dieppa – The Big Picture

UPDATE: PHOTO BOOTH AVAILABLE HERE

First off, thank you everyone for being so patient.  I tried my best to answer everyone’s emails while working full time at my WPPI booth and helping some friends out – the Bui Brothers – on the Epic Hunt (I will making a blog post about them soon so pay attention). If I could clone myself, I would totally do it. There are over 3,000 people using my blog themes right now, so that can give you an idea of the amount of emails I have, so again thanks for being patient ;)

What a week! This was my first time attending WPPI and my first time ever having a booth – what a wicked experience. As much as I would have loved to peruse the convention floor, I had to rely on fellow mates to gather materials for me. For those who did not attend, Tofurious debuted a new photobooth software (created in conjunction with Made By Simple, LLC, which is another company I am partnered with) that had live view and touchscreen! It was encased in a full plexi-glass frame that was completely transparent. Why? We wanted to show how simple it was to create one – three items: camera, computer, [any] printer. We even let our competitor take pictures and video clips because we had nothing to hide.

Hopefully, in the near future I can have the booths mass produced in full sheet metal. The best part is that it will be collapsable. The last thing I want to do is to lug it around on a truck with hydraulics.

Last week’s theme: Digital Awesomeness

So many people came by to take pictures and so many people were ready to purchase a license right there and then! Unfortunately, there are still a few tweaks that need to be done before releasing it. I talked to an old buddy who works for UCLA and he was also interested in getting a few licenses for the university! I was like wow that would be stellar!

Anyway, due to a mountain of emails I am trying to respond to, I will just posting a recap video done by two genuinely cool friends – Aaron Dieppa and Brian Khang. Aaron is attempting to post one video a day for 365 days! It is like a television show that I tune in every night and I suggest you do the same :) Thanks Aaron for the recap video! Without this, all I have is one picture that Danny took for us.

Aside from that, I had lots of people come by to take pictures, many of which were posted on our clear photobooth. Check them out! I made them all black/white except for one that Doug liked a lot.

Dudes… it was a great time at your booth (as the photos show) and ALMOST hanging out with you.

Thanks for all the help with the Blogger’s Lounge AND with the Epic Hunt website… which is going to now be transformed again.

See you guys at dinner… SOON.

Awesome job taking a great idea and making it a reality. Makes me regret not going to WPPI even more and seeing it in person. I could have had a rockstar photo with the Furious Photographers. Keep it up.

Where can I buy a Tofurious T-shirt?
