Why go digital?

The photo booth has been around long before the advent of the digital camera. The old 'dip and dunk' chemically processed photo booths are out there, but here's why you should choose digital!
The biggest problem that comes up with chemical photobooth rentals is physically getting the booth inside the desired venue. Due to the booth's weight (800 lbs), stairs are impossible to navigate. The selected venue must have a street-level or ramped entrance, and have doorways at least 2.5 feet wide, and 6.5 feet tall. If an elevator must be used, the cargo area and door must be able to accomodate a box that big.
DIGITAL prints are fast, easy, and our booth is compact and portable! It can be broken down and set up at any venue, up stairs, on an elevator, in a cramped room, through small doors and hallways, even outside! And it won't take up your entire ballroom, dance floor, or party space. Plus you can preview your photos as you're taking them for the best poses and framing.

Looking at the Pros of Digital Photography

Digital cameras blend the art of photography with the science of the computer age. They serve as an outlet for creative expression and as a serious communication tool. Just as important, digital cameras are fun. Digital photography, however, does have its pros and cons.
Advantages of digital photography

For convenience, quality control, flexibility, and fun, digital does a slam-dunk on film photography. Here are just a few advantages of working with digital images:

• More creative control: With traditional film photos, you have no input into an image after it leaves your camera. Everything rests in the hands of the photofinisher. But with a digital photo, you can use your computer and photo-editing software to touch up and enhance your pictures.
• Instant, easy, photo sharing: You can send an image instantaneously by attaching it to an e-mail message. Not only is electronic distribution of images quicker than regular mail or overnight delivery services, it’s also more convenient. You don’t have to address an envelope, find a stamp, or truck off to the post office or delivery drop box.
• In addition to sending photos via e-mail, you can share photos with friends, family, and clients, no matter how far away, via a personal Web page or a photo-sharing site such as the Kodak EasyShare Gallery.
• More interesting presentations: You can include pictures in business or educational presentations that you create with programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint. For more casual audiences, you can produce fun multimedia slide shows and burn them to a CD or DVD.
• More useful databases and household records: You can include digital images in business and household databases. For example, if your company operates a telemarketing program, you can insert images into a product order database so that when sales reps pull up information about a product, they see a picture of the product and can describe it to customers.
• More creative fun: You can have a lot of fun exploring your artistic side. Using an image-editing program, you can apply wacky special effects, paint mustaches on your evil enemy, and otherwise distort reality. You can also apply special-effects filters that give your photo the look of a painting, pencil sketch, or other traditional art medium, as shown in this picture.

In addition, you can also create your own personalized stationery, business cards, calendars, mugs, T-shirts, postcards, and other goodies. Some programs provide templates for creating such materials. You just select the design you want to use and insert your own photos into the template.
After you place your photos into the templates, you can print your artwork on a color printer using specialized print media sold by Kodak, Epson, HP, and other vendors. If you don’t have access to a printer with this capability, you can get the job done at a local quick-copy shop or e-mail your image to one of the many vendors offering digital printing services via the Internet.
