Last minute preparations and it was officially open for photos. We seeded a couple of people with the knowledge of what and where it was. The rest evolved on it&#8217;s on over the course of the night, landing us with a total of 248 VGA-resolution monochrome images in about 3.5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound of people in the booth laughing &amp; shrieking and the sound that the software <i>Photo Booth<\/i> made filtered through the house. Away from the action, I discretely left my laptop on, open and with a custom <i>Quartz Composer<\/i> composition that would poll the photo booth machine few it&#8217;s pictures, displaying the most recent 16 images. This too drew a crowd of on lookers waiting for the next image to appear. One guest said it best, &#8220;The sound of the photo booth counting down causes a Pavlovian response to see what the next picture will bring!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally amazing to me was the use of the curtain to enter\/exit the booth. I figured that no one would close the curtain once they were inside but the curtain was slung closed by every person that entered. You really get a sense of being private (even though just down the hall everyone would see your picture in about five seconds).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The party is over, the cheering gone but everyone is going to remember this one.
