We stumbled across our next DIY project /challenge : Making your own Photobooth. You'll find the steps here:

I have recruited my Evandro, to do this, to make one with me so hopefully in a few months we'll have one made and then we'll automatically upload the photo strips onto flickr. Drop us a line, tell us if you've been able to make it or any easy suggestions. We'll also keep you posted on our progress.
Theres something fascinating about photography, in almost any form. I get a bit mesmerized with not only the image but the machine, the gadget. I have probably more that 5 cameras each with a different function, from video, to digital, to lomography, to polaroid and 35mm, yet I'm always on the look out for a new camera, like this (below) Imperial mark camera that seems to be more beautiful than functionally unique.

But I still want it! And a Ultronic Panoramic (see pics on flickr) too!
So I want a photobooth and in all seriousness a collection of cameras that work, and thats beautiful.
Heres a copy of an old posting I made on my prior blog about getting a new cam. My obsession has been in existence for a while:

All I want for Christmas (If only X-mas was in March)
All I want for Christmas is a lot of stuff but my list begins as it always does with a camera.
How
many cameras do you have Lesa? Eight but I want 2 more, besides the
eight cameras I do have are either old, don't work or have specific
purposes, e.g my Polaroid and video camera.
The camera I want although its quite expensive and I'm sure I wont get it for now is the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Its was announced in Feb of this year , its not in the stores yet and I'm almost certain that it
will cost more than$5000. I'm not a professional photographer so theres
no way I'm going to buy a camera that expensive. The second camera on
my list is not a digital camera at all but its so much fun! How do I
know? Its a lomo and all Lomos are fun. I would like to have
specifically the LOMO LC-A +. Price starts at $250 for the standard package up to $650 for the elite. I want the elite!
"Dear Santa so far i have been a really good girl this year can i get a lomo for x-mas? I want one damn it!"
I
have been a member of lomography international for over a year, taking
pics with my little pathetic fisheye camera, yet I have always had my
eyes on buying a bigger better lomo cam and Im sure this will be the
one!
Look at these pics (taken from the site), photoshop didn't touch these babies. Its purely the trick of the LC-A +
