Photo booth fun

The one thing I regret from MC's visit was not making a trip to an Asian photo booth store, or whatever they're called these days...



As you can tell, we're photo booth amateurs. It takes a bit of getting used to.

A few notes:
  • It usually costs around $5 or $6.
  • If coating and cutting aren't included in the price, make sure to get it b/c it's worth the extra 50 cents!
  • Pick a good machine - they've all got their different personalities - different camera angles, lighting, backgrounds, layouts, editing functions, etc.
  • Make use of the props!
  • Watch the ticking clock - there never seems to be enough time to design and decorate!
  • The more junk you throw on the picture, the better.
We clearly weren't satisfied with attempt #1 so we decided to go back again. ^^



It's a little addicting, I have to admit. ^^

haha. I just went to Myeongdong Gyoja on Sunday to do an article. Great minds must think alike. Do you mind if I contact you for your impressions for the article I'm going to write next week? This week, I'm doing one on an eel restaurant.

Yea, what is it with korean girls and photo booths? Ive done a couple myself. Its definitely an experience everyone should try when visiting Korea. Its unbelievable whole stores with just photo booths packed with a bunch of korean girls giggling.

Then the decorating of the pictures after your done..Im an engineer and lack all sense of creativity, plus my handwriting is really messy..lol...I guess I wasnt destined to be a photobooth nut. :)
