Vintage photo booths remind me of summertime on the boardwalk: inserting coins, closing the curtain, squeezing onto the bench with friends, smiling and making faces, waiting anxiously for the strip of prints to appear, and treasuring the memories long after.
Though it was years ago, I can still vividly recall a black & white photo-booth strip of my BFF and I—flaunting sunburned skin and matching sweatshirts—that I looked at and loved for years. Photo booths are good old-fashioned fun, and that’s why I’m charmed as can be with the Incredibooth app by the ingenious creators of Hipstamatic.
Incredibooth simulates the old-time analog photo booth experience: you get in position, tap the red button, and four shots will be taken in rapid succession. You “pick up” your black-and-white photo strip “outside” the booth and then share the photos on Facebook, via email, or on your living room wall!
Color Services has created the perfect way to print and display Incredibooth photos: Incredibooth Wall Clings. This unique product is printed on self-adhesive fabric that sticks right to your wall. You can even move them around again and again and they still stay in place. Incredibooth Wall Clings are offered in the Hipstamatic Creations collection of cool Hipsta stuff at colorservices.com and economically priced at $10.95 for a 5.5″ x 30″ strip.
With the Incredibooth app, a 99-cent investment will buy anyone with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad their very own photo booth—to carry right in a pocket, purse or backpack! What’s not to love about that? In the blink of an eye, you can set it up, smile, snap…and see the results.
Give it a try—and make your own vintage-inspired photo booth moments this summer!
