Photo Booth FUN!!!

it's been SOOO long since my last post. I've been crazy busy with my schedule this semester. I'm going to my internship (hospital) five days a week and two 2.5 hour classes on Thursday (which are my LOOONG days). So I've been pretty worn out these past two or three weeks. Plus, I didnt really have much of a Christmas vacation with Hurricane Rita extending our Fall semester, and then my two and a half weeks of studying for the Praxis exam I took on the 7th of January (results still pending). Anyway, obviously, I've been ultra busy. Also, sorry I don't have pictures of my new beautiful car to show you. I got an awesome new digital camera for Christmas, so I'll be sure to take some, and post them asap.

Okay! So some of you may have heard of the program that comes on the new Apple iMacs called Photo Booth. The cool thing about the new iMacs is that it comes with a camera installed, so you can plug up and take pictures of yourself instantly. Anyway, this program has some fun effects as well as distortion effects. I was first introduced by my good friend Matty Bell when he showed off some of their pictures taken at the Apple store. I was dying to test it out. My best bud Gina got one a little over a month ago so we've had endless hours of high quality entertainment!!!

And now for your viewing pleasure...some endearing as well as comical photos taken with Photo Booth!


Multi-colored Four Square
You may be familiar with this effect. It's probably the most popular. (That's Gina on the left)


Map Pencil
This is the map pencil effect


Thermal
Here is the thermal effect


Comic Book
This is a pretty fun one...the comic book effect. Look how dark the eyebrows and nostrils get! Yikes! :)

Okay, so those were the fun effects....now, we're on to the distorted effects. You may wanna take a quick tinkle trip, because if you laugh too hard, a little might seep out...haha. Well, that's how I felt when we were taking the pictures at least.


Oh Dear
Oh dear...it doesnt even hardly look like me...does it? Weird.


Mirror Effect
HA! This is the mirror effect. You can see how much Gina was enjoying it! She was laughing so hard, I believe she shed a few tears!


Check out my grill
Step right up ladies and gents! Get an up close look at Staci's expanded grill!


Hilarity at its Finest
Here is what I call "Hilarity at its Finest!" We were doing the lip/teeth thing. You know where you dry your lip out a bit and push it up where it gets stuck on your gums above your teeth. Plus with this stretching effect used....oh my gosh! As you can tell, I was laughing so hard. It was quite comical!

Whew....that was fun! Okay folks, thats all I have for now. Keep it real and follow Jesus! :)
