That would be awesome if I had the space and could afford a DDR machine. Still, it’s like you’re catching my brain waves because I have pondered how to set up a DDR shoot downstairs.

For a long time now I’ve been wanting to draw some attention to you and your photobooth project; to give it the artistic recognition and credit it deserves. It turns out, however, that I’m not the Gladwellian ‘connector’ that I could or should be, so I’ll just say it now. You and your photobooth project are absolutely brilliant. I have savoured every episode and frequently go back to enjoy them again.

shari: and sometimes scotch…

tamara: thanks so much!

sibyl: NO WAY! he proposed in a photobooth? that is the coolest thing ever. and portland seems to be a photobooth-friendly kind of city, too.

claire: thanks! and re: the dance cube, couldn’t you put 4 walls around a DDR machine, install a camera and printer, and voila!

dave2: your friend meagan is teh awesome!

don: it’s amazing what you can hide in a big backpack.

hello haha narf: oh, i’ll most definitely send you the list. and i’ll flag the ones that are most conducive to the kind of… um, artistic photos you’re interested in taking.

So you’ve taken a drying rack of dishes to … ?

Next time I see someone go into a photobooth with a rack of dishes to clean, I’ll still ask if they want me to dry, but will lack that sarcastic tone cause I’ll mean it.

My friend Meagan loves photo booths so much that she created her own with a video camera, an old iMac, and a custom AppleScript she wrote herself. Every time somebody would come to her apartment… whether they be friend, foe, repairman, or FedEx delivery guy… she’d insist that they sit for a four-frame set. The resulting images were printed out in strips and pasted on her wall, which she eventually covered.

It’s her I have to thank for all the images of me that appear before each blog entry.
