If there was a competition at WPPI for not the prettiest booth, I would win hand’s down! I’m just glad that they still let me do my thang.
PROMISE – next year it’s going to be wicked. I have some insane, never done before, type ideas.
For those who missed out, I was doing one-on-one marketing consultation and giving away a photo booth software (last year samples). And for those who patiently waited to speak to me, there was Julie’s OLD SCHOOL Nintendo to play with! Thank you Jen May for the picture.
Overall, it was a lot of fun! I got to see old friends and make many new ones! Plus, it was an opportunity to get away from my desk and play…
Well, the photos are not entirely true.
- I am not a monster from Indiana Jones
- I am actually not a big deal (quite small potatoes in my humble opinion)
Thanks to Candice Cunningham for the badge stickers!
Grace Ormonde
Grace Ormonde (@grace_ormonde) was actually in town that week to photograph tables, linen, decor and food from various 5-star resorts for her coming issue. So I asked her to swing by WPPI to say a few words.
She was so gracious to speak on Tuesday and to do a portfolio review on Wednesday! Grace was very impressed with the work submitted.
Thanks to Mike Larson for helping with some wicked camera toss photographs!
Cover Submissions
Yes, Grace is still accepting cover submissions. The instructions seem simple enough!
…I talked about picking one image for my next cover at WPPI. If you’re interested in submitting an image, please submit it here and title it “COVER” so that I will know.
For those who were there, I like images that move me – especially ones of sexy couples!

Photo Booth
This is what many people have been waiting for. Worth the wait? Good.
To get the software, subscribe below. You can always unsubscribe later if you don’t like my stuff, but I don’t spam – only share new software and discoveries I make.
Want to buy me an iced americano and a dessert? Thanks in advance!
Hardware
This software does not use any proprietor hardware, so use whatever you want. However, this is what I used at WPPI –
- HP Touchscreen (Mac compatible too, but no touchscreen yet)
- Logitech Pro 9000 webcam
- Printer – Epson
Instructions
NOTE: I do not offer support for this. I’m not a software developer (I do that for fun). I am a marketing consultant, so yeah… Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Lawrence Chan
P.S. Grace Ormonde is hosting a 20-city launch party for her brand spankin’ new book – very snazzy places! I have a few tickets to share, so be sure to be on the mailing list!

Thanks Lawrence… looks great, I’m sure it would work great if I had a PC but glad I don’t. Great briefly seeing you in Vegas. Keep up the good work.

Uh oh…I guess it’s not for Mac users… :/
It’s compatible for both because it is using Adobe Air, but there’s no built-in touch screen Macs yet.
Hey Lawrence…not sure how this is compatible with Adobe Air as I cant seem to figure out how to run an .exe file through AIR. Loving your work though…just need to find a dam PC!

Thanks again for the software!!! Can someone tell me which hardware is the best to support this software.
Thanks

would this work in Win 7?
Yes! 64 bit as well!
OK, so where do I go to see a panda floating in my hot beverage? That, my friends, is the real question here.
:) thanks for using my hipstamatic shot.

Anyone else having problems running it?
Thanks again

You need to have a webcam running. If there isn’t, it will not proceed.
Thanks again

Awsome, so now we can do duplicates!! My clients will love me!!

No this is not the same. This version does not limit users to the number of copies.

I already have this software and it works great! Sad that I paid for it though :( I need someone to write a script to make it print 2+ copies though! Anyone want to develop it ;)
It’s a lot of fun!

Lawrence,
I still play my old school Nintendo too. So fun! So all week, I went by your booth to meet you and talk about photo booth stuff and you were PACKED. I finally stood in line the last day and then when I got to you (yesss) you went on break (noooo). ::smiles:: I was that one if you remember. You had a busy week. Anyway, just wanted to say nice to meet you and thank you for the photo booth software. I’m signing up to get it again because I don’t know where I saved it.
Do you suggest a plexiglass booth like you have?

Plexi-glass is good except that it can crack if under enough weight. Otherwise, it’s pretty neat!
I know the guy that has the red arrow! Sounds like fun!

Haha. I’m the guy with the arrow pointing at me in the last photo. Mike said to play it cool, but I just couldn’t help myself. What can I say, I’m always looking for a laugh.
Thanks Lawrence for such a great booth and introducing me to Grace (it’s my photos she’s holding in the last couple of photos).
Super Mario Bros. was a sweet touch.

software is great. thank you!
software is great. thank you!
Thank you so much for the software – have some questions
Is it compatible with XP or Vista?
What light(s) do you use in the booth?
Couldn’t make it to WPPI – anyone have pics of a booth they are willing to share so I can get a better idea of the layout?

Great idea for the photo booth software… thanks for sharing.
I set this up on a gateway touch screen at 1600×900, but I can not see all of the text lines to edit. Any suggestions? Do I need to have an HP?
Also…would love to know about the Camera Toss…was that just any camera…love the photo. Any photos of the actual photo booth…I could not make it this year.
thanks MIKE
Its actually a 1D mark 4 with a 5 shutter burst on the variable exposure control 1/3 +/-! :)
