DIY Home made photo booth - 67 of 366 creative days

67/366 - DIY home made photo booth

  If you don't have money to buy a photo booth for you jewelry, just look around your house, you can always find spare part to help you build a photo booth like: wire, boxes (cardboard, plastic, metal if you are hard core), paper, tape.
  All you need is a bit of imagination. So see what I did when my drying rack broke several years ago (about 4)

a - Materials

1. Hard wire
2. Soft wire (tape can be used instead, but will make everything less sturdy
3. Light bulbs the higher the better, I had 120 W output, but could have been much better
4. Tape
5. Wax paper, or cooking parchment, white
6. White paper
7. Aluminium foil

b - Tools

1. Pliers
2. Wire cutters

c - Techniques
           1 - Make from one wire a square and the leg of height of the box and repeat so you can have 2 pieces. Leave at the end a 2-3 cm to be able to bend and will be used for link the pieces between themselves.

Wire joints for linking the squares for top and bottom

            2 - Link the top and bottom together using the bent end wires. use thinner wire or extra wire for the 2 other legs that are missing.

            4 - Add paper all around and use tape to stick it together

            5 - Use another wire to build a big circle and a small circle( that worked for my type of lamp).
Cover the big circle with aluminium foil (used for wrapping and secure it with a tape)

d - End result

You will need to find ways of figuring out of putting together based on whatever you have. The bottom line is to have all the joints secure enough. The objects you will use will not be too heavy, but is good that entire photo booth to be good enough so you wont need to patch every photo shoot.

Too much color?

  Some very very colorful pictures I took in Istanbul bazaar some years ago.

   Of course, I wouldn't wear any of the bags or scarfs, but is fun to eat from such a colorful bowl, I regret now I haven't bought one then.

Nice photos - Romania travel

 Since I decided to do this all the way and without too much worrying caring or planning I will start posting pictures that I made and actually liked. I will randomly browse through some old directories and I will pop them here.
    Photos were taken on a trip I made in 2004 with a good friend, a 2MP camera, was a blast at that time and we were happy to have it .

 Picture made somewhere on the road between Rupea and Sighisoara.

Romanian forest trail - Rupea

 Strange anonymous painting in Biertan fortified church. It was place behind the altar, so if you went on the left side and looked at the the eyes, they were looking back at you, and check out the feet direction as well.

 If you went on the right side and looked at the eyes, they were looking back at you again, and check out the feet direction again. If you check out the picture in detail there are few more things that "move" towards you. This illusion effect gave me a really weird feeling at that time, scary a bit.

  I tried to find a better picture over the internet, but nobody said anything about it on any site regarding this church. Maybe it was removed.
